EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures a moment of triumph and innovation during a pivotal time in aviation history. In the image, His Majesty King George VI, the monarch of the United Kingdom from 1936 to 1952, extends a hand in congratulations to Squadron Leader John Woodburn Gillan. The occasion for this royal recognition was the successful completion of a record-breaking flight from London to Edinburgh in a Hawker Hurricane aircraft, which took place on 11 February 1938. The Hawker Hurricane, a British single-seat fighter aircraft, was a crucial component of the Royal Air Force's defense during World War II. The plane's distinctive shape and powerful engine made it a formidable force against the enemy in the skies. In this photograph, the Hurricane, with its distinctive roundels and markings, stands proudly behind the pilot and the king, symbolizing the advancements in aviation technology that were transforming the world. The photograph was presented to the Society in August 1944 by Mrs. Gillan, the mother of the pilot, who must have been immensely proud of her son's achievement. The image serves as a testament to the bravery, skill, and determination of the pilots who pushed the boundaries of aviation during this era. It also highlights the close relationship between the monarchy and the Royal Air Force, as the king took an active interest in the progress of the military's aeronautical capabilities.
