EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, HRH Princess Anne pays a visit to the esteemed Royal Aeronautical Society headquarters at No.4 Hamilton Place, London, on May 20, 1974. The Princess, who was the Princess Royal at the time, graced the society with her presence to present the prestigious Whitney Straight Award to Mrs. Yvonne Sintes. This award, a beautiful sculpture crafted by renowned British artist Dame Barbara Hepworth, was bestowed upon Mrs. Sintes in recognition of her remarkable achievements and contributions to the field of aviation, specifically as an Air Traffic Control Officer. The Whitney Straight Award was established in 1967 through the generous donation of Air Commodore Whitney Straight, the Deputy Chairman of Rolls-Royce, to celebrate the accomplishments and status of women in aviation. This significant gesture paved the way for the recognition of women's vital roles in the industry. The photograph captures a moment of pride and accomplishment for Mrs. Sintes as she receives the award from HRH Princess Anne, surrounded by the distinguished members of the Royal Aeronautical Society. The image encapsulates the spirit of innovation, progress, and gender equality that have long been associated with the aeronautical industry. The transport sector, including aviation, has been a trailblazer in pushing boundaries and breaking down barriers, enabling people to traverse the globe and connect with one another in ways previously unimaginable. This photograph serves as a testament to the remarkable achievements of women in aviation and their invaluable contributions to the field.
