EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Aviatrix Miss E.W.E. (Winifred) Spooner engages in an animated conversation with Lord Thompson, standing before a Gypsy Moth aircraft at Stag Lane. The year is not specified, but it is known that this image was taken prior to a demonstration flight. Miss Spooner, an accomplished British aviator, is renowned for her pioneering work in aviation. She is dressed in her flying attire, complete with goggles and a leather helmet, exuding an aura of determination and excitement. Lord Thompson, a distinguished gentleman, listens intently to her words, his expression thoughtful and attentive. The backdrop of the photograph is a narrow lane, with the Gypsy Moth aircraft standing proudly in the foreground. The plane, with its distinctive biplane configuration and open cockpit, is a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the time. The Gypsy Moth was a popular choice for both recreational and training flights, and its use in this demonstration underscores the accessibility of aviation to a wider audience. The significance of this photograph lies not only in the meeting between Miss Spooner and Lord Thompson, but also in the fuel source used to power the Gypsy Moth. Petrol derived from British coal is visible in the foreground, highlighting the potential for alternative fuel sources in aviation. This discovery held great promise for the future of air travel, as it reduced reliance on imported oil and offered a more sustainable solution for powering aircraft. In summary, this photograph captures a pivotal moment in aviation history, with Aviatrix Miss E.W.E. Spooner and Lord Thompson discussing the possibilities of coal-derived petrol and the future of aviation technology. The Gypsy Moth aircraft serves as a symbol of innovation and progress, as well as a reminder of the pioneering spirit that drove the aviation industry forward.
