EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of two pioneering women in the field of aviation, Miss Letitia Chitty, FRAeS (15 July 1897-29 September 1982) and Miss Florence Edith Barwood (1897-1966), as they admire a vintage aircraft in 1982. Both women made significant contributions to the world of transport aviation, with Letitia becoming a Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society (FRAeS) and Florence's passion for aviation leading her to become a dedicated aviation historian and author. The photograph, taken in the late 1970s or early 1980s, shows the two women in their later years, yet their enthusiasm for aviation remains undiminished. Letitia, dressed in a smart blouse and skirt, gazes intently at the plane with a look of fascination and admiration. Florence, wearing a floral blouse and a scarf around her neck, smiles warmly at the camera, her eyes reflecting her deep love for the history of aviation. The plane in the background, with its distinctive shape and markings, is likely to be a 1960s model, adding to the nostalgic feel of the image. The photograph not only pays tribute to the enduring passion of these two remarkable women for aviation but also serves as a reminder of the rich history and evolution of aviation technology. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the important role women have played in the development of aviation and their continued fascination with the world of planes, aeroplanes, and airplanes. Letitia and Florence's legacy lives on, inspiring future generations of aviation enthusiasts and pioneers.
