EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the archives, a collection of momentos related to the historic Alcock and Brown flight are proudly displayed at the Royal Aeronautical Society's Nash aircraft collection during the 1957 Garden Party at Wisley. The event, held at the picturesque Wisley Gardens in Surrey, England, brought together aviation enthusiasts and industry professionals to celebrate the society's rich history and the latest advancements in aviation technology. At the heart of the display, a replica of the Vickers Vimy G-EAQUS, the aircraft that Sir John Alcock and Sir Theodore Brown flew across the Atlantic Ocean in 1919, making it the first non-stop transatlantic flight. The momentos surrounding the replica include various artifacts from the original aircraft, such as pieces of the wings and engine parts, as well as memorabilia from the ground crew and the two pioneering aviators themselves. The Alcock and Brown flight marked a significant milestone in aviation history, demonstrating the courage and determination of these early aviators and paving the way for commercial air travel. The display at the Royal Aeronautical Society's Garden Party served as a reminder of this remarkable achievement and the important role the society has played in documenting and celebrating the evolution of aviation. The photograph captures the essence of the event, with attendees gathered around the display, admiring the momentos and engaging in lively conversations about the history of aviation. The sunny day, green gardens, and blue skies in the background add to the idyllic setting, making this a truly unforgettable moment in aviation history.
