1st Aerial Derby at Hendon, 1913: A Feat of Aviation Pioneers This photograph captures the excitement and innovation of the 1st Aerial Derby held at Hendon Aerodrome, London, on 28th September 1913. The event marked a significant milestone in the history of aviation in the United Kingdom, attracting thousands of spectators from all corners of the country. The image showcases the bustling scene at Hendon, with its distinctive red-brick hangars, perimeter fences, and carpark filled with early motor cars. The crowds, dressed in their finest attire, gather around the perimeter of the airfield, eagerly anticipating the thrilling aerial displays. In the foreground, a group of men examine a biplane, likely a contestant in the Derby, while a young boy gazes up at the aircraft in awe. The planes, including the Aerolane, were the epitome of engineering marvels, with their sleek designs and powerful engines. The 1st Aerial Derby at Hendon was organised by the Aero Club of the United Kingdom, with the Royal Aero Club providing the judges. The competition consisted of various events, including a handicap race, a speed trial, and a circular course race. The winner, Captain H.S. Bailey, flew a Bleriot Monoplane, covering the 12.5-mile course in just 32 minutes and 25 seconds, reaching an impressive speed of 68.7 miles per hour. This photograph is a testament to the pioneering spirit of the early aviation era, when the skies were a new frontier for human exploration and adventure. The 1st Aerial Derby at Hendon served as a catalyst for the growth of aviation in the UK, inspiring a new generation of pilots and engineers to push the boundaries of what was possible in flight.
