EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases The Flying Machine, an engineering marvel and a beloved entertainment attraction that once graced the hallowed grounds of Earls Court in London. Designed by the visionary Sir Hiram Maxim in 1905, this ride marked a significant milestone in the annals of amusement park history. Sir Hiram Maxim, a renowned inventor and businessman, was known for his groundbreaking innovations in the fields of military technology and entertainment. With The Flying Machine, he brought a new level of excitement and thrill to the masses. The ride consisted of large metal wings that could seat up to eight passengers each, suspended from a central axle. As the machine rotated, riders were lifted off the ground, providing an exhilarating sensation of flight. The Flying Machine opened its doors to the public in 1905 and quickly became a popular attraction, drawing crowds from far and wide. The ride operated until 1914, when it was dismantled due to the outbreak of World War I. This photograph, taken in its heyday, captures the essence of a bygone era, when innovation and entertainment intertwined to create unforgettable experiences. The Flying Machine stands as a testament to Sir Hiram Maxim's ingenuity and the rich history of Earls Court, which has played host to numerous exhibitions, shows, and events over the decades. Today, this photograph serves as a reminder of the thrilling rides and memories that have shaped the collective imagination of generations.
