VISUAL DESCRIPTION
In this historic monochrome image, we see an extraordinary multi-winged aircraft labeled "G-AAXC," likely dating back to between World Wars I & II based on its unique design—a far cry from today's streamlined airliners! It’s captured just after takeoff or perhaps during taxiing along an airstrip flanked by hangars in distance; evidence both ingenuity challenges faced by early aviators who pushed boundaries skyward with every new contraption they conceived.
