EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the members of an expedition at Heston Airport on February 17,1933, just before embarking on their journey to India. The image showcases a group of men, dressed in aviation attire, standing beside a British two-seat biplane called the Westland Wallace. This aircraft belonged to the Royal Air Force and would soon make history. Little did they know that these brave individuals were about to accomplish an extraordinary feat. On April 3rd, 1933, these very planes became the first ever to fly over Mount Everest. They soared above Kangchenjunga on April 4th and embarked on a second flight over Everest on April 19th. These daring flights not only pushed the boundaries of aviation but also provided invaluable insights into one of nature's greatest wonders. The photograph exudes a sense of excitement and anticipation as these adventurers prepare for their groundbreaking expedition. It is reminiscent of a bygone era when air travel was still in its infancy but held immense promise for exploration and discovery. Preserved in sepia tones, this historic snapshot offers us a glimpse into the past - capturing both the spirit of adventure and technological advancements that defined early twentieth-century aviation. As we admire this remarkable piece from His Majesty The King's collection, we are reminded of humanity's relentless pursuit to conquer new frontiers against all odds.
