EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolor painting, titled "Aerodrome Control Office, Nyeri, Kenya," transports us back in time to the 1930s, where the bustling energy of the Nyeri Aerodrome comes to life. The central figure of the painting is the Chief Control Officer, Robert Powell, who stands tall and focused at the helm of the control office. His intense gaze is fixed on the horizon, ensuring the safety of the aircraft taking off and landing at the aerodrome. In the foreground, a young scout, likely a member of the Boy Scouts Association, eagerly observes the proceedings, his curiosity piqued by the thrill of aviation. The scout's uniform, adorned with badges and insignia, proudly displays his dedication and commitment to the organization. In the background, a jigger, a common mode of transportation in Kenya during the 1930s, adds a touch of authenticity to the scene. The jigger, with its distinctive design and vibrant colors, contrasts sharply with the modern technology of the aerodrome. The painting is believed to have been created by renowned artist, Lord Baden-Powell, the founder of the Scout Movement, during one of his many visits to Kenya. The artist's skillful use of watercolor captures the essence of the era, from the intricate details of the control office to the vibrant colors of the jigger and the lush greenery of the Kenyan landscape. This painting is a testament to the rich history of aviation and the Scout Movement in Kenya during the 1930s. It offers a glimpse into a bygone era, where adventure, exploration, and the spirit of camaraderie came together to create unforgettable memories.
