EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Gloster IV aircraft, registration number N224, at Calshot Spit, Southampton Water, England, in 1927. The Gloster IV, also known as the Gloster Grebe I, was a two-seat biplane designed for long-distance flight and exploration. This particular aircraft would go on to make history as the first British aircraft to complete a transatlantic flight from east to west, piloted by Captain John Alcock and Lieutenant Arthur Brown in June 1919. In this image, N224 is seen in its pre-Venice configuration, prior to its historic flight across the Mediterranean Sea to Italy in 1927. The aircraft is shown taxying on the grassy runway at Calshot, with its distinctive biplane wings and open cockpits. The water and ships in the background add to the sense of anticipation and excitement surrounding this pioneering aviation moment. Calshot Spit, located at the eastern end of Southampton Water, was a popular site for early aviation experiments and record-breaking flights. The flat, expansive area provided an ideal location for takeoffs and landings, and the nearby Solent Strait offered a challenging crossing for long-distance flights. This photograph is a testament to the spirit of adventure and innovation that characterized the early days of aviation. The Gloster IV's successful transatlantic flight and subsequent journey to Venice showcased the potential of aircraft for long-distance travel and exploration, paving the way for future advancements in aviation technology.
