EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1924, we are transported back in time to witness a remarkable moment of aviation history. The image showcases a close-up view of a grounded biplane, its wings majestically spread against the picturesque backdrop of Cornwall. With meticulous detail, the photographer Arthur William Jordan captures not only the aircraft but also the pilot and passengers who stand proudly beside it. The grounded biplane exudes an air of adventure and daring, symbolizing mankind's relentless pursuit of conquering the skies. Its registration code G-EA-- hints at its unique identity while leaving room for speculation about its true owner - possibly Captain Holmes. One can't help but wonder about their stories; what brought them to this scenic location? Were they embarking on an audacious journey or returning from one? This photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our unwavering desire to explore uncharted territories. It reminds us that once upon a time, flight was still considered extraordinary and awe-inspiring. As we gaze upon this frozen moment in time, we are reminded of how far we have come since then. Preserved within the Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, this print allows us to appreciate both the artistry behind capturing such moments and the historical significance they hold. It invites us into an era where dreams took flight amidst breathtaking landscapes like those found in beautiful Cornwall
