EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of triumph for aviation pioneer, Alex Henshaw, as he stands proudly next to his record-breaking Percival Mew Gull, E2H, at Gravesend in Kent, UK. The year was 1938, and Henshaw had just shattered the record books by winning the prestigious King's Cup Air Race with an average speed of 236.25 M.P.H. over a grueling triangular course of 1012.14 miles. This remarkable achievement marked the fastest speed ever recorded by a British aircraft, cementing Henshaw's place in aviation history. But Henshaw's exploits didn't end there. In February 1939, he embarked on an even more daring adventure, flying the Mew Gull from England to South Africa and back in an astounding 4 days, 10 hours, and 15 minutes. This incredible feat smashed the previous record and showcased the extraordinary capabilities of the Percival Mew Gull, a monoplane with a tail dragger configuration and a single, powerful engine. The image captures the sleek lines and low-wing design of the Mew Gull, which was a popular choice among civil aviators during the 1930s. The photograph was taken amidst the backdrop of Gravesend's hangars, where the hum of aircraft engines and the anticipation of new records filled the air. This photograph is a testament to the spirit of innovation and adventure that defined the early days of aviation. It stands as a reminder of the remarkable achievements of pilots like Alex Henshaw, who pushed the boundaries of what was thought possible and left an indelible mark on the annals of aviation history.
