EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph captures a remarkable moment in history, as a Royal Flying Corps bi-plane crashes onto the roof of a Saunders boot and shoe maker shop in England during the 1910s. The image, filled with a mix of surprise, awe, and amusement, shows a crowd of children and adults gathered outside the shop, some pointing and laughing, while others appear more concerned. Men can be seen standing on the roof, assessing the damage and attempting to help in any way they can. The Royal Flying Corps, the forerunner of the Royal Air Force, was established in 1912, and by the 1910s, bi-planes were becoming increasingly common in the skies over England. However, accidents like this one were still a regular occurrence, as aviation technology was still in its infancy. Despite the gravity of the situation, the photograph has a lighthearted feel, with the children's curious expressions and the men's determined efforts to help. It serves as a reminder of the excitement and adventure that surrounded early aviation, as well as the inherent risks and challenges. This photograph is a unique snapshot of history, offering a glimpse into the past and providing a fascinating insight into the lives of people during the 1910s in England. It is a reminder of the human spirit's ability to find humor and wonder in even the most unexpected circumstances.
