John, proving that flying is no Pushover. Student John Lavery was all ready for take-off
John, proving that flying is no Pushover. Student John Lavery was all ready for take-off in his home-made, pedal-powered " aircraft" on Sunday (21-2-71). But minutes later his hopes of a £ 10, 000 aviation prize took a temporary nosedive. A gust of wind made the machine keel over - before it was even airborne. John, 19, and four fellow students are bidding for a prize offered by the Royal Aeronautical Society for the first man-powered flight over one mile. The trial run - in the Lancaster University car park-ended when the pram-wheeled undercarriage buckled as the " aircraft" veered off course. The attempt was part of the universitys Rag Week activities. Our Picture Shows; John prepares for take-off. February 1971 P001007

John, proving that flying is no Pushover. Student John Lavery was all ready for take-off in his home-made, pedal-powered "aircraft" on Sunday (21-2-71). But minutes later his hopes of a £10,000 aviation prize took a temporary nosedive. A gust of wind made the machine keel over - before it was even airborne. John, 19, and four fellow students are bidding for a prize offered by the Royal Aeronautical Society for the first man-powered flight over one mile. The trial run - in the Lancaster University car park - ended when the pram-wheeled undercarriage buckled as the "aircraft" veered off course. The attempt was part of the university's Rag Week activities. Despite this setback, John's determination to conquer the skies remains unshaken. With humor and resilience, he continues to pursue his dream with unwavering enthusiasm. In this print from February 1971 captured by Mirrorpix during that eventful day, we see John preparing himself for take-off. His eyes filled with excitement and anticipation as he sits inside his unique creation. This image not only showcases John's audacious spirit but also reflects the adventurous nature of university life during that era. It serves as a reminder that sometimes setbacks may occur along our journey towards success but should never deter us from reaching new heights.
