1908: A Thrilling Milestone in British Military Aviation - The Second Flight of Nulli Secundus II, Farnborough Date: 24th July 1908 Location: Farnborough, England Amidst the verdant expanses of Farnborough Common in England, the second flight of the British Army's groundbreaking airship, Nulli Secundus II, was about to unfold. This momentous occasion, captured in this evocative photograph from the archives, marked a significant milestone in the burgeoning field of military aviation. The year was 1908, and the world was on the cusp of a new era. The Royal Flying Corps (RFC), the precursor to the Royal Air Force, was in its infancy, and the potential applications of airships in military strategy were just beginning to be explored. The semi-rigid airship, Nulli Secundus II, was the brainchild of the Army Airship Factory (AAC) at Farnborough, under the expert guidance of Major General Frederick J.M. Robertson and his team of dedicated engineers. The anticipation was palpable as the crowds gathered around the airship, their faces etched with excitement and wonder. Airspotters from far and wide had converged upon Farnborough to witness this historic event. Soldiers, engineers, and civilians alike stood in awe as the colossal, silver-skinned behemoth took shape. With the wind in their favour, the crew, clad in their military uniforms, prepared for the launch. The engines roared to life, and with a mighty shudder, Nulli Secundus II began to move, its massive propellers slicing through the air. The ground shook beneath the feet of the onlookers as the airship gained momentum, lifting gently off the ground and soaring into the sky. The successful second flight of Nulli Secundus II at Farnborough was a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the British military and engineering community. It was a proud moment for the RFC and a harbinger of things to come in the realm of military aviation.
