EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1909, Col. H.S. Massey (left) and Stephen A. Marples (right) are seen in the midst of the excitement at the Aerial League's Model Flying Competition held at the iconic Wembley Stadium. The two esteemed gentlemen, both key figures in the league, are deeply engrossed in the event, their expressions reflecting a perfect blend of anticipation and determination. Col. Massey, the charismatic chairman of the Aerial League, dons a formal attire, while Marples, the dedicated secretary, wears a more casual outfit. Both men are positioned close to a table laden with various model aircraft, their keen eyes scanning the skies above Wembley as they eagerly await the next round of competition. The Model Flying Competition at Wembley marked a significant moment in the history of aviation, as it showcased the passion and innovation of early aviation enthusiasts. The event brought together individuals from all walks of life who shared a common fascination with the emerging technology of powered flight. The models displayed at the competition ranged from simple gliders to more complex biplanes, each one a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of its builder. The date, the 11th of September 1909, was a pivotal time for aviation, as the Wright Brothers had only recently taken their first powered flight in the United States, on December 17, 1903. The Aerial League's Model Flying Competition at Wembley served as a platform for British enthusiasts to explore the potential of this new and thrilling mode of transport. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the early days of aviation history, capturing the spirit of adventure and camaraderie that defined the Aerial League and its members. Col. Massey and Stephen A. Marples, as the leaders of this pioneering organization, played a crucial role in fostering the growth of aviation in the United Kingdom, and their dedication to the cause is evident in this image.
