EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Sir Kingsley Wood, the British Secretary of State for Air, is warmly greeted by Mr Scott-Paine upon his arrival to inspect an armoured target boat built by the British Power Boat Company in Hythe, Southampton. The year is 1939, and the looming threat of war casts a somber yet determined atmosphere over the scene. Sir Kingsley Wood, a distinguished figure in British politics, had been appointed to his position just a few months prior, in October 1938. He was tasked with overseeing the expansion and modernization of the Royal Air Force (RAF) in preparation for the imminent conflict. Mr Scott-Paine, the manager of the British Power Boat Company, proudly shows Sir Kingsley Wood around the state-of-the-art armoured target boat, which was designed to provide RAF pilots with realistic and effective target practice. The boat, built at the company's facility in Hythe, Southampton, was a testament to the innovative spirit and engineering prowess of the British aeronautical industry. The photograph captures a moment of collaboration and shared determination between two men, united in their commitment to the defense of their country. The presence of the armoured target boat in the background underscores the importance of the RAF's ground support infrastructure, which played a crucial role in the success of the air force during World War II. This image offers a glimpse into the critical preparations being made by the British government and industry in the lead-up to the war, and serves as a reminder of the vital role that the RAF and its support networks played in the defense of the United Kingdom.
