EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the innovative creation of George Bennie, a brilliant mind ahead of his time. The Bennie Railplane, depicted in this image from 1934, revolutionized rail transport with its unique design and propulsion system. Unlike traditional trains that moved along tracks on the ground, this remarkable invention glided effortlessly above an overhead rail using propellers. George Bennie's visionary concept combined elements of aviation and railway technology to create a truly extraordinary mode of transportation. As seen in this archival photograph, the sleek monorail structure is suspended high above the ground, defying gravity as it zooms through the English countryside. The ingenuity behind the Bennie Railplane lies not only in its unconventional method of locomotion but also in its potential to transform how people traveled during the early 20th century. Although commercial use is not mentioned here, one can imagine how such an invention could have paved the way for faster and more efficient transportation systems. As we gaze upon this historical artifact captured by Welsh photographer Ken Archive, we are reminded of George Bennie's significant contribution to transport history. This print serves as a testament to human innovation and reminds us that even seemingly impossible ideas can become reality when driven minds dare to dream beyond conventionality.
