1. Title: A Piece of Aviation History: Alcock and Brown Momentoes at the 1957 Royal Aeronautical Society Garden Party at Wisley 2.. This photograph, taken on the 15th of September 1957, showcases a significant moment in aviation history as Alcock and Brown momentoes were put on display at the Royal Aeronautical Society Garden Party held at Wisley. Sir John Alcock and Sir Theodore W. Brown are renowned for their groundbreaking achievement in transatlantic aviation, having completed the first non-stop transatlantic flight from Newfoundland to Ireland in 1919. The image reveals an array of aviation memorabilia, including a propeller, a piece of wing fabric, and a section of the fuselage from the Vickers Vimy aircraft that carried Alcock and Brown on their historic journey. These momentoes were proudly displayed for the attendees of the prestigious Royal Aeronautical Society Garden Party, an annual event celebrating the latest advancements and achievements in the realm of aeronautics. The photograph transports us back to an era of innovation and exploration, where the spirit of adventure and the relentless pursuit of progress defined the aviation industry. The presence of these momentoes at the garden party served as a testament to the enduring legacy of Alcock and Brown and their groundbreaking transatlantic flight. The transport of these precious artifacts to the garden party highlights the importance of preserving aviation history and sharing it with future generations. This photograph is not only a visual representation of a pivotal moment in aviation history but also a reminder of the passion and dedication that continues to drive the aeronautical community forward. 3.
