EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Sir Frederick Handley Page, CBE, FRAeS (1885-1962) is seen enjoying a post-dinner moment at an event in Paris, May 1950. Sir Frederick, a renowned British aeronautical engineer and aviation pioneer, was the President of the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS) from 1945 to 1947. He is dressed elegantly in a suit and tie, his eyes sparkling with the joy of the evening's festivities. The occasion for this gathering was likely the Louis Bleriot Memorial Lecture, an annual event established in 1934 to commemorate the French aviation pioneer, Louis Bleriot. Sir Frederick's presence at this event underscores his significant contributions to the field of aviation and his esteemed standing within the international aerospace community. Sir Frederick Handley Page was a trailblazer in aircraft design and manufacturing, with a focus on transport aircraft. He founded Handley Page Ltd. in 1907, which would go on to produce some of the most iconic aircraft in British aviation history, including the Handley Page Type O biplane, the Handley Page Hampden bomber, and the Handley Page Halifax transport aircraft. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of Sir Frederick Handley Page's remarkable legacy in aviation. He passed away in 1962, leaving behind a lasting impact on the world of aviation and a testament to the power of human ingenuity and innovation. The RAeS President's tenure from 1945 to 1947 and his presence at the Louis Bleriot Memorial Lecture in 1950 are just a few of the many milestones in a life dedicated to the advancement of aviation technology.
