EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from The Northcliffe Collection, we are transported back to the roaring twenties, a time of innovation and adventure in aviation. The image showcases a remarkable sight - a windmill being used as a flying landmark. Against the picturesque backdrop of Lympne, Kent, Mr J. H. James can be seen confidently piloting his ANEC Monoplane while Mr Bert Hinkler gracefully soars above him in an Avro aircraft. This extraordinary scene takes us on a journey through time when aviators pushed boundaries and embraced unconventional methods for navigation. The windmill, typically associated with its stationary role harnessing natural energy, now becomes an aerial guidepost for these daring pilots. The photograph captures the spirit of competition as it documents their participation in the international motor glider competition at Lympne. It is evident that both men possess immense skill and courage as they navigate their aircraft amidst the vast open skies. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we cannot help but marvel at how human ingenuity has transformed our perception of landmarks and redefined their purpose beyond conventional use. This photograph serves as a testament to mankind's relentless pursuit of exploration and progress during an era defined by technological advancements. Through this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the indomitable spirit that drives individuals like Mr J. H. James and Mr Bert Hinkler to conquer new frontiers while leaving an indelible mark on history itself.
