Capturing the Majestic Montagus Harrier - A Glimpse into Aviation History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this vintage photograph, we are transported back to May 1938, where renowned ornithologist Eric Hosking skillfully wielded his Sanderson field camera. Equipped with a serrac 8.5 inch lens and set at F/11 aperture, he expertly adjusted the shutter speed to 1/50th of a second using HSFP film. The result? An extraordinary image that would go on to become the iconic crest for RAF Squadron 193. The Montagus Harrier takes center stage in this historic snapshot, its sleek black feathers contrasting beautifully against the old white background. This bird of prey exudes an air of elegance and power as it gazes confidently into the lens, seemingly aware of its place in aviation history. Eric Hosking's passion for nature shines through every detail captured by his lens - from each feather meticulously preserved to the subtle nuances in lighting that bring this magnificent creature to life. It is no wonder that Hosking's work has stood the test of time and continues to inspire generations of wildlife enthusiasts today. So let us marvel at this early pioneer's remarkable contribution to ornithology and photography alike. As we gaze upon this classic image, we are reminded not only of our fascination with birds but also how artistry can intertwine with science in capturing moments that transcend time itself.
