Stratford House in Stratford Place, London, circa 1960: A Blend of History and Aviation This evocative photograph captures Stratford House in Stratford Place, London, around the year 1960. At the time, this historic building was one of the sites under consideration by the Royal Aeronautical Society for the location of its new lecture theatre. The image showcases a unique blend of history and aviation, with the grand Stratford House standing proudly amidst the backdrop of planes and aircraft. The planes, with their sleek lines and futuristic designs, contrast sharply with the ornate facade of the 18th-century building, reflecting the rapid advancements in aviation technology during the mid-20th century. The Royal Aeronautical Society, a prestigious professional body for aerospace engineers and technicians, was seeking a location that would not only provide ample space for their lecture theatre but also symbolize the connection between the society and the aeronautical industry. Stratford House, with its rich history and central London location, seemed like an ideal choice. The photograph transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the past when the future of aviation was being shaped. The planes, parked neatly on the grass, are a testament to the progress made in the field of aviation, while the historic Stratford House stands as a reminder of the past. This photograph is a fascinating representation of the intersection of history and technology, showcasing the evolution of aviation and the enduring charm of London's architectural heritage.
