EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, aviator D.W. Llewellyn climbs into the cockpit of the Percival Vega Gull, registration number G-AEAB, at the start of the Schlesinger Portsmouth to Johannesburg Air Race on the crisp morning of September 29, 1936. The sun has just begun to rise, casting a warm glow over the runway as Llewellyn, dressed in a leather flying helmet and goggles, prepares for takeoff with his co-pilot, Charles F. Hughesdon. The Percival Vega Gull, a sleek and agile single-engine monoplane, was a popular choice among racers for its speed and maneuverability. The Schlesinger Portsmouth to Johannesburg Air Race was a grueling long-distance competition that tested the endurance and skill of both pilots and their aircraft. The race, which covered over 6,000 miles from Portsmouth, England to Johannesburg, South Africa, attracted a field of experienced aviators and their trusty aircraft. Llewellyn and Hughesdon were among the brave souls who answered the call, determined to push themselves and their machine to the limit. As Llewellyn settles into the cockpit, the excitement and anticipation of the race is palpable. The roar of the engine, the smell of aviation fuel, and the sight of the sun rising over the horizon all combine to create a sense of adventure and possibility. With Hughesdon at his side, Llewellyn is ready to embark on the journey of a lifetime, eager to test their mettle against the other racers and to prove that they and the Percival Vega Gull are up to the challenge. This photograph captures a moment of determination and resolve, as Llewellyn and Hughesdon prepare to take off into the unknown, ready to face whatever lies ahead on their epic journey to Johannesburg.
