EDITORS COMMENTS
Nulli Secundus Moored on the Running Track at Crystal Palace: A Historic Aviation Mishap in 1907 This photograph captures the moment when the early aviation pioneer, Nulli Secundus, was moored on the running track at Crystal Palace after encountering headwinds during its return journey from London to Farnborough on October 5, 1907. The biplane, which translates to 'Second to None,' was significantly damaged due to unexpected gales on the night of the incident. The Nulli Secundus, piloted by Major James T. Scudamore, had made a successful flight from Farnborough to London earlier that day, marking an essential milestone in the history of aviation. However, the return journey proved to be a challenge, with the aircraft facing strong headwinds that forced it to make an unscheduled landing at Crystal Palace. The image shows the damaged aircraft, with its wings splayed out on the running track, surrounded by a crowd of curious onlookers. The incident caused quite a stir, as the public was still fascinated by the new and exciting world of aviation. Despite the damage, Major Scudamore managed to repair the Nulli Secundus and complete the journey back to Farnborough a few days later. This photograph is a testament to the courage and determination of early aviators, who faced numerous challenges in their quest to explore the skies. The incident at Crystal Palace serves as a reminder of the risks and uncertainties that accompanied the early days of aviation, making it all the more remarkable when we consider the incredible advancements that have since been made in this field.
