EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a historic moment in aviation history. The image showcases Alan Cobham, an English aviation pioneer, alighting on the Thames at Westminster on October 1st, 1926. In this remarkable shot, we see Cobham's sea plane gracefully descending onto the water's surface with precision and grace. Accompanied by his mechanic A B Elliot, Cobham proudly stands atop the aircraft as it glides towards its destination. Cobham was no ordinary aviator; he achieved extraordinary feats during his career. Notably, he flew to Australia and back in an astonishing 320 flying hours - a record-breaking accomplishment that solidified his place in aviation history. The photo exudes a sense of adventure and daring from a time when air travel was still relatively new and awe-inspiring. It transports us back to the glamorous era of the 1920s when biplanes ruled the skies. Captured by an anonymous English photographer of the twentieth century, this print is now part of a private collection but remains out of copyright. Its timeless appeal lies in its ability to transport viewers to another era filled with excitement and innovation. This stunning image serves as a testament to human ingenuity and reminds us of our boundless potential for exploration and discovery.
