Flying circus EPW041022
Flying circus, April 1933. Aviation events like this one were popular entertainments between the wars, including aerobatics, barnstorming and wing-walking (as seen here). In 1933 the UK Civil Aviation Authority banned wing-walking without a rigid harness, so this photograph must have been taken shortly before the ban. Aerofilms Collection (see Links)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Flying circus" takes us back to the thrilling era of aviation events in April 1933. Between the wars, these spectacles were immensely popular as they combined daring aerobatics, barnstorming, and even the death-defying act of wing-walking. The image captures a heart-stopping moment as a courageous individual fearlessly walks on the wings of an airborne plane. However, what makes this photograph particularly significant is its timing. Just before this exhilarating form of entertainment was banned by the UK Civil Aviation Authority in 1933, our lens immortalized this breathtaking scene. It serves as a testament to the audacity and adventurous spirit that defined those times. The Aerofilms Collection has preserved this remarkable piece of history for us to marvel at today. As we gaze upon it, we are transported back to an age where aviation was still in its infancy but already pushing boundaries with awe-inspiring stunts like wing-walking. Let us appreciate not only the skill and courage displayed by those involved but also how far we have come since then in terms of safety regulations within aviation. This print stands as a reminder of both our past fascination with daredevil acts and our commitment to ensuring safer skies for all who take flight.
