Lakes Waterhen Takes Flight Over Lake Windermere, 1912: A Pioneering Aviation Moment This evocative photograph captures the historic moment when the seaplane Lakes Waterhen, registration number G-EAQC, was launched onto the shimmering waters of Lake Windermere in England, on the 27th of July, 1912. The intrepid aviator, Captain J.S.M. Thomson, stands confidently on the shore, ready to guide the aircraft into the water. The Lakes Waterhen, a British-designed amphibian aircraft, was a significant achievement in early aviation history, representing a crucial step towards the development of practical and efficient seaplanes. The Lakes Waterhen, a biplane with a wingspan of 36 feet and a length of 33 feet, was powered by a 50 horsepower Anzani engine. Its innovative design allowed it to take off and land both on water and land, making it a versatile and adaptable aircraft for the era. This versatility was crucial for transporting passengers and goods over the vast expanse of water, particularly in areas not yet connected by roads or railways. The launch of the Lakes Waterhen on Lake Windermere was a groundbreaking event, marking the first time an aircraft had taken off from and landed on this famous English lake. The event attracted a large crowd of spectators, who gathered to witness this pioneering moment in aviation history. The success of the Lakes Waterhen paved the way for further advancements in seaplane technology, ultimately leading to the widespread use of seaplanes for transportation and military purposes. This photograph, taken from a vantage point on the lake's shore, beautifully encapsulates the spirit of innovation and adventure that characterized the early days of aviation. The serene lake, dotted with small boats and surrounded by lush greenery, provides a striking contrast to the modern-looking Lakes Waterhen, poised to take to the skies.
