1965: A Moment of Aviation History - Rollason D.62A Condor G-ARHZ at Teeside for the Kings Cup Air Race This evocative photograph captures the Rollason D.62A Condor, registration number G-ARHZ, at Teeside Airport during the 1965 Kings Cup Air Race. Wearing race number 25, this sleek and powerful aircraft is poised and ready for the challenge ahead. The Kings Cup Air Race, first held in 1932, is one of the oldest and most prestigious air races in the world. Held annually over the Isle of Man, it attracts pilots and aviation enthusiasts from around the globe. The race is known for its demanding course, which tests both the skill and courage of pilots as they navigate the challenging terrain and weather conditions. The Rollason D.62A Condor, designed by British engineer John Rollason, was a high-performance, single-seat, low-wing monoplane. Powered by a Rolls-Royce Merlin engine, it was capable of reaching impressive speeds, making it a formidable contender in the Kings Cup Air Race. In this photograph, we see G-ARHZ undergoing final preparations before taking to the skies. The team works diligently to ensure that every detail is perfect, from the sleek paint job to the meticulously checked engines. The tension is palpable as the team knows that every second counts in a race as demanding as the Kings Cup. This photograph is a snapshot of a bygone era in aviation history, a time when the thrill of competition and the spirit of innovation drove pilots and engineers to push the boundaries of what was possible. It is a reminder of the passion and dedication that has always been at the heart of aviation, and a testament to the enduring allure of the Kings Cup Air Race.
