EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the 1930s, a time between the wars when aviation was still in its infancy. The image captures three individuals who were part of an extraordinary expedition that would push the boundaries of transatlantic flight. On the left stands Captain G. J Fowell, his stern expression reflecting his determination and expertise as he prepares for what will be a historic journey. Beside him is Mr P. A. Woods, the radio operator, whose steady hands will ensure vital communication throughout their daring adventure. Completing the trio is First Officer C. F Elder, his focused gaze revealing both excitement and apprehension about what lies ahead. The scene unfolds in Southampton as these brave men make meticulous preparations for their second experimental Atlantic flight aboard the Flying Boat Cambria. It is July 23rd, 1937 - just six days before they embark on a mission that will test their skills and endurance to new limits. This monochrome photograph not only captures a significant moment in history but also serves as a reminder of human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit of exploration. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let us acknowledge these unsung heroes who paved the way for modern aviation and inspired generations to dream big and reach for the skies above.
