EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1930s, captures a moment of awe and excitement as people in a field pause to gaze up at a biplane soaring through the clear blue sky. The scene is reminiscent of a bygone era, with some onlookers seated on horseback, adding an extra touch of nostalgia. The military biplane, with its distinctive shape and propellers, casts a long shadow on the grassy landscape as it passes overhead. The event that brought these people together, and caused them to look up in wonder, is unknown. Perhaps it was a local airshow or a military flypast. Regardless, the sense of community and shared experience is palpable in this image. Two men, identified as Bernard and Alfieri Snr, are seen in the foreground, their faces etched with fascination and admiration. The crowd behind them is a sea of hats and dresses, each person lost in the magic of the moment. Horses stand quietly, their riders transfixed by the sight of the aeroplane. The biplane, a marvel of engineering and innovation, represents the spirit of adventure and progress that defined the 1930s. The thirties were a time of great change, with advancements in technology, art, and culture shaping the world around us. This photograph is a testament to that era, a snapshot of history that continues to captivate and inspire us today.
