Air Vice Marshal Sir Sefton Brancker, the esteemed Director of Civil Aviation, takes center stage as he prepares to embark on an important mission. Accompanied by Mr A J Cobham, the skilled pilot, and Eliott, the trusted mechanic, Sir Sefton Brancker exudes confidence and determination. The year is 1924, a time between wars when aviation was still in its infancy. This photograph captures the spirit of adventure and exploration that defined this era. As they stand beside their De Havilland machine at Hendon airfield in Europeana photography's lens focuses on these pioneers who are about to make history.
