EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the momentous arrival of aviator Robert Slack at Hendon Aerodrome in 1913. The artist, Flight Photo, beautifully portrays the excitement and achievement that surrounded this event. Robert Slack was an accomplished pilot who earned his aviators certificate on November 14th, 1911. He went on to compete in the prestigious 2nd Aerial Derby at Hendon Aerodrome on September 20th, 1913. Flying a Morane Saulnier aircraft, he showcased his skill and determination as he raced through the skies. Tragically, just three months later on December 21st, 1913, Robert Slack's life was cut short in a motoring accident. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of his passion for aviation and the risks pioneers like him faced during those early years. The image depicts Mr. Slack walking confidently towards his plane after completing what must have been an exhilarating flight. Dressed in classic aviator attire with a flying helmet and suit, he exudes both professionalism and bravery. As we gaze upon this black-and-white snapshot from British aviation history, we are transported back to a time when air travel was still considered extraordinary. It is a testament to the courage and spirit of individuals like Robert Slack who paved the way for modern aviation.
