EDITORS COMMENTS
In this nostalgic photograph, a group of dedicated staff members from the Library of the Royal Aeronautical Society gather together for a retirement lunch on 23 June 1978. Among them, from left to right, we find Ava Dane, Pam Clark, Jay Wolff, E.C. "Betty" Pike, Miss Pam White, and an unidentified colleague. The setting is the hallowed halls of the Royal Aeronautical Society, located at No.4 Hamilton Place. Betty Pike, the esteemed figure in the middle, is the focus of this momentous occasion. After an impressive tenure of over 24 years, she is bidding farewell to her beloved workplace, having spent the final chapter of her career as the Editor of The Aeronautical Quarterly. The Aeronautical Quarterly was a prestigious publication dedicated to the world of aviation, covering topics such as transport, planes, planes, aircraft, aeroplanes, airplanes, flight, aeronautical, and aeronautics. The staff members, dressed in formal attire, exchange heartfelt farewells and reminisce about the memories they have shared throughout the years. The room is filled with a sense of camaraderie and respect, as each person acknowledges the significant contributions Betty has made to their organization. The Library of the Royal Aeronautical Society has been Betty's professional home for decades, and this retirement lunch is a poignant reminder of the enduring bonds formed through a shared passion for aviation. As the group raises a toast to Betty, the room is bathed in a warm, golden light, creating an atmosphere of celebration and gratitude. The photograph captures a moment of unity and appreciation, encapsulating the spirit of a community that has been shaped by the love of flight.
