Sproule are seen smiling triumphantly after setting a new world record for the longest duration flight in a two-seat glider at Dunstable Aerodrome in Bedfordshire, England, in 1938. The intrepid aviators achieved an impressive flight time of 22 hours and 13 minutes, pushing the boundaries of aviation technology and endurance. Their aircraft, an elegant and sleek glider, is visible in the background, its wings outstretched and gleaming in the sunlight. The duo's achievement was a testament to their skill, determination, and the advancements in aeronautical engineering during that era. The flight took place during a time when the world was on the brink of war, and the potential applications of such endurance flights for military reconnaissance and communication were not lost on the aviation community.
