Nulli Secundus II at Kingsnorth, 24 November 1916: A Historic Moment in Aviation History This photograph captures the moment as the biplane, Nulli Secundus II, taxis on the runway at Kingsnorth Aerodrome on 24 November 1916. The aircraft, a two-seater Avro Type 504K, was piloted by Lieutenant A.C. Humphris of the Royal Flying Corps (RFC). The Nulli Secundus II, meaning "Second to None" in Latin, was a significant aircraft in the First World War. It was the first military aircraft to be entirely designed, built, and flown in the United Kingdom. The plane was a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of British aviation during wartime. The Nulli Secundus II was an essential asset to the RFC, providing valuable reconnaissance and transportation services. Its capabilities were showcased during the Battle of the Somme, where it flew over enemy lines, gathering critical intelligence that helped inform British military strategies. The photograph of Nulli Secundus II at Kingsnorth Aerodrome is a poignant reminder of the pivotal role aviation played in the First World War. The determination and skill of the pilots, engineers, and designers who worked on the aircraft were instrumental in shaping the course of military history. This photograph, taken in 1916, is a testament to the progress and innovation that characterized the early days of aviation. The image of Nulli Secundus II taxing on the runway at Kingsnorth Aerodrome is a powerful symbol of the courage and determination of those who took to the skies during a time of war, paving the way for future advancements in aviation technology.
