EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness Mr. G. A. Barnes skillfully packing the wings of his Humber-Bleriot monoplane onto a Humber car after the Bournemouth Meeting in July 1910. The image captures a moment of both triumph and anticipation as Barnes prepares for his next aviation adventure. Two months later, at a meeting in Folkestone, fate took an unexpected turn for Barnes. Encountering trouble with the controls of his beloved Humber-Bleriot, he found himself faced with a life-or-death decision. With remarkable courage and quick thinking, he made the daring choice to jump overboard from an altitude of 30 feet. The consequences were severe; Barnes suffered head injuries and a broken wrist from this harrowing incident. However, true to his resilient spirit, he managed to recover fully and return to the skies once again. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the risks early aviators like Mr. G. A. Barnes willingly undertook in their pursuit of flight mastery. It showcases not only their unwavering determination but also their ability to overcome adversity. Let us celebrate Mr. G. A. Barnes' indomitable spirit and commend him for his bravery in facing challenges head-on while pursuing one's passion for aviation - truly embodying the essence of human resilience and perseverance against all odds.
