EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment when aviation pioneer A.V. Roe took to the skies aboard one of the first passenger flights in England, aboard an Avro Triplane in the year 1910. The Avro Triplane, a three-winged aircraft designed by Roe, was a groundbreaking innovation in the field of aviation at the time. With its distinctive triangular wings, this aircraft represented a significant step forward in the development of heavier-than-air flight. Roe, a visionary and trailblazer in British aviation, is seen here confidently seated in the open cockpit, dressed in a leather flying helmet and goggles, ready to embark on this historic journey. The Triplane, powered by a 50 horsepower Gnome rotary engine, was capable of reaching speeds of up to 45 miles per hour, making it an impressive feat of engineering for the early 20th century. The year 1910 marked a pivotal moment in the history of aviation, as the first powered flights had only taken place a decade earlier, and the potential for air travel was just beginning to be realized. Roe's pioneering work with the Avro Triplane helped to pave the way for the development of more advanced aircraft and the eventual widespread use of air travel. This photograph is a testament to the courage and ingenuity of A.V. Roe and the early pioneers of aviation, who dared to dream of taking to the skies and exploring the boundless possibilities of flight. It is a reminder of the rich history of aviation and the incredible progress that has been made in just over a century.
