EDITORS COMMENTS
The Ascent of Thrasher Cove Common: A Pioneering Aviation Moment, 28 May 1907 This photograph, taken on 28 May 1907, captures the thrilling moment of an early aviation feat: the ascent of the Thrasher Cove Common using an aeroplane. With the backdrop of the picturesque English countryside, the scene is set for an extraordinary adventure. The intrepid aviator, dressed in goggles and a leather helmet, stands steadfastly next to his monoplane, its wings spread wide, ready for takeoff. The balloon, tethered to the ground, provides a stark contrast to the modernity of the aeroplane, symbolizing the transition from old to new modes of transport. The excitement in the air is palpable as the crowd, gathered on the common, watches with bated breath. Children point and stare, while adults exchange nervous glances, their faces a mix of awe and trepidation. The anticipation builds as the aviator climbs into the cockpit, the roar of the engine echoing through the valley. As the propeller begins to spin, the aeroplane lurches forward, the ground crew scrambling to release the tether. With a burst of speed, the aircraft lifts off the ground, leaving the balloon and the stunned onlookers behind. The ascent marks a significant milestone in the history of aviation, demonstrating the growing potential of these remarkable machines. This photograph, a testament to human ingenuity and courage, serves as a reminder of the awe and wonder that surrounded the early days of flight. The Thrasher Cove Common ascent, on 28 May 1907, represents a pivotal moment in the evolution of transport and our fascination with the skies.
