Major Allister MacIntosh Miller (1892-1951): A Pioneering Aviator and His Percival E2 Mew Gull, ZS-AHM (later G-AEXF), The Golden City, Prior to the Portsmouth to Johannesburg Great Air Race, 1936 This evocative photograph captures Major Allister MacIntosh Miller (1892-1951) standing confidently next to his Percival E2 Mew Gull, ZS-AHM (later G-AEXF), in the bustling atmosphere of The Golden City, South Africa. Major Miller, a British aviator, is dressed in his flying gear, with a determined look in his eyes, as he prepares for the upcoming Portsmouth to Johannesburg Great Air Race in 1936. The Percival E2 Mew Gull, a two-seat, single-engine, low-wing monoplane, was a popular choice among aviators during the 1930s due to its speed and agility. With its sleek design and distinctive wing shape, the Mew Gull was a formidable competitor in the skies. In this photograph, the aircraft, with its registration number ZS-AHM, is shown in pristine condition, ready for the long-distance race. The Portsmouth to Johannesburg Great Air Race, also known as the MacRobertson Race, was a record-breaking event that took place from November 1934 to January 1935. It was the first air race to span the entire Southern Hemisphere, covering a distance of approximately 11,000 miles (17,700 kilometers). Major Miller, an experienced pilot, was among the many brave aviators who participated in this historic event. This photograph, taken prior to the race, captures a moment of anticipation and excitement as Major Miller and his Mew Gull, ZS-AHM, prepare to embark on this daring journey. The image is a testament to the spirit of adventure and innovation that characterized the early days of aviation.
