EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, taken from The Royal Aeronautical Society's archives, depicts a momentous occasion in the annals of aviation history: Mr. Green's 100th balloon ascent from the Mermaid Tavern in Hackney, London, on the 14th of May, 1832. The serene scene is set against a backdrop of a quaint English countryside, with a picturesque house and garden visible in the distance. A group of curious onlookers gathers around a wooden bench, their eyes fixed on the spectacle unfolding before them. Mr. Green, a renowned balloonist of the era, sits calmly on the bench, preparing for his ascent. The bench, a common feature of the Mermaid Tavern, adds a sense of familiarity and tradition to the scene. The tavern, a public house and popular gathering place for locals, is a testament to the community's support for this daring endeavor. The field before the tavern is filled with the excitement of the day, as people from all walks of life come together to witness this remarkable event. The air is thick with anticipation, as the balloon, a magnificent sight to behold, begins to ascend, its hot air engine emitting plumes of smoke. The balloon, with Mr. Green aboard, rises gracefully into the sky, leaving the Mermaid Tavern and its surroundings behind. This image, captured in the 1830s, is a reminder of the fascination and wonder that surrounded early aviation, and the role that community and tradition played in the development of this groundbreaking mode of transport. The Royal Aeronautical Society's archives continue to preserve and share such invaluable pieces of history, allowing us to appreciate the rich tapestry of aviation's past.
