EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a historic moment in the annals of Afghan and aviation history as King Amanullah and Queen Suriya of Afghanistan attend an air display at Hendon Aerodrome in London during their visit to England in March 1928. The royal couple's visit marked a significant milestone in the diplomatic relations between Afghanistan and the United Kingdom. King Amanullah, dressed in traditional Afghan attire, is seen in the foreground, intently observing the aerial maneuvers with a look of fascination on his face. His wife, Queen Suriya, elegantly dressed in Western attire, stands beside him, her hand resting on his shoulder, sharing in his excitement. The backdrop of the airfield is filled with a variety of aircraft, including biplanes and seaplanes, as pilots put on an impressive show of aerobatics and precision flying. The visit to Hendon Aerodrome was a testament to King Amanullah's forward-thinking approach towards modernization and technological advancements. He was known to have a keen interest in aviation and had established Afghanistan's first aviation school in Kabul just a few years prior. This photograph serves as a reminder of the historical significance of this visit and the enduring bond between Afghanistan and the United Kingdom. The image, taken in March 1928, is a rare and valuable document of a pivotal moment in Afghan history and the early days of aviation. This photograph is not to be used for commercial purposes and is available for historical and educational use only.
