EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of exhilaration and innovation as D.G. Gilmour takes to the skies in the Bleriot monoplane, marking a significant milestone in aviation history. The image, dated 1911, was taken at the Brooklands racing circuit in Weybridge, Surrey, England. At the time, Brooklands was the world's first purpose-built motor racing and aviation circuit, attracting pioneers and enthusiasts alike. D.G. Gilmour, a brave and determined aviator, is seen confidently seated in the open-cockpit of the Bleriot monoplane, a French-designed single-seat aircraft that was the first successful monoplane to cross the English Channel. Gilmour's determination to master the art of flying is evident in his focused expression and firm grip on the controls. The Bleriot monoplane, with its sleek design and distinctive wing, is a testament to the engineering prowess of the early aviation era. The photograph also showcases the unique atmosphere of the early aviation scene, where the spirit of adventure and the pursuit of knowledge were at the forefront. The crowd of onlookers, dressed in their finest attire, gazes in awe at the spectacle unfolding before them, their faces filled with a mixture of excitement, anticipation, and perhaps a touch of fear. The open fields of Brooklands, dotted with tents and makeshift structures, serve as a backdrop to this momentous occasion. This photograph is a precious reminder of the early days of aviation, a time when the impossible seemed possible, and the world was forever changed by the power of human ingenuity and the freedom of flight.
