. In this photograph taken by Alfieri on July 3rd, 1915, Queen Alexandra is seen standing proudly amidst the bustling atmosphere of the Royal Aircraft Factory in Farnborough. Dressed impeccably in her fashionable attire befitting her royal status, she exudes grace and elegance. On this historic day, Queen Alexandra assumed a significant role as she named four aeroplanes provided by the Overseas Club to the esteemed Royal Flying Corps (RFC). Her presence symbolized not only her support for aviation advancements but also highlighted the crucial role women played during World War I. Surrounded by men donning their RFC uniforms, Queen Alexandra's regal demeanor stands out against the backdrop of hangars and aerodromes. The top hat atop her head adds an air of sophistication to this momentous occasion. This monochrome snapshot captures a pivotal chapter in history when Europe was embroiled in conflict. It serves as a poignant reminder of how individuals from all walks of life united to contribute towards victory during World War I. Alfieri's skillful composition immortalizes this extraordinary event within its frame. As we gaze upon this image today, we are transported back to that era where courage and innovation intersected on these very grounds at Farnborough - forever etching Queen Alexandra's name alongside those who shaped aviation history.
