An Unexpected Encounter - Flying Turkey Takes Flight in Rural Essex

EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, captured on the 7th of October 1943 near Braintree, Essex, we witness a truly bizarre and comical sight. Reg Speller's lens immortalizes a turkey soaring across a country lane with an air of confidence that defies all logic. Against the backdrop of a quaint English village, this unexpected spectacle unfolds. The turkey gracefully glides through the air, seemingly oblivious to the astonishment it elicits from passing motorists. A vintage car can be seen parked nearby as its occupants marvel at this peculiar mode of transport. This photograph is not only an amusing visual anomaly but also serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of life in rural England during that era. As World War II raged on, everyday scenes like these offered moments of respite and levity amidst challenging times. Reg Speller's keen eye for capturing human interest stories shines through in his portrayal of this flying turkey. With no people present in the frame, our attention is solely focused on this feathered protagonist who has momentarily taken flight above an idyllic countryside lane. Transporting us back to a bygone era filled with humor and wonderment, this archival print holds both artistic value and historical significance. It serves as a testament to Reg Speller's ability to find beauty even in the most unexpected places – or rather – soaring above them!
