EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Aubrey G. Corbin, a renowned test pilot, is seen proudly standing next to the sleek and innovative Cunliffe-Owen Concordia aircraft at the 1947 Royal Aeronautical Society Garden Party held at Radlett on the 14th of September. The setting sun casts a warm glow over the scene, illuminating the metallic sheen of the Concordia's wings and highlighting the intricate details of its design. Corbin's expression radiates a sense of accomplishment and excitement as he gazes at his creation. With a career dedicated to pushing the boundaries of aviation, Corbin's role as a test pilot for the Cunliffe-Owen Concordia was a testament to his unwavering passion for flight. The Concordia, a groundbreaking design for its time, was a single-seat, low-wing monoplane with a unique cantilever wing and a retractable landing gear system. The Royal Aeronautical Society Garden Party provided an excellent platform for Corbin to showcase his work to fellow aviation enthusiasts and industry professionals. The event, held in the picturesque grounds of Radlett, brought together some of the most influential figures in the field of aeronautics, making it an important moment in the history of aviation. This portrait of Aubrey G. Corbin and the Cunliffe-Owen Concordia encapsulates the spirit of innovation and progress that defined the post-war aviation industry. It serves as a reminder of the remarkable achievements of those who dared to dream and push the limits of what was thought possible.
