EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Charles Abell, OBE, FSLAET, CEng, FRAeS (1910-1998), the esteemed President of the Royal Aeronautical Society from 1976 to 1977, is seen presenting the prestigious George Taylor Written Paper Prize on May 12, 1977. The proud recipients of this esteemed award are A.C. Ham and A.J. "Jack" Willshire, who are prominently displayed in the center of the image. Charles Abell, a renowned figure in the aeronautical world, is dressed in formal attire, reflecting the significance of the occasion. He is seen holding the George Taylor Prize certificate and a small trophy, ready to bestow the accolade upon the deserving winners. The two recipients, A.C. Ham and A.J. Willshire, are shown in the foreground, beaming with pride and excitement as they receive the award from Abell. Ham and Willshire had authored the paper "Advanced materials and their use in civil aircraft structures," which had been recognized for its groundbreaking contributions to the field of aeronautical engineering. At the time, Willshire was employed in the Future Projects Office of British Aerospace at Hatfield, where he likely conducted research and development on advanced materials for use in civil aircraft structures. The photograph captures a moment of triumph and recognition for these two pioneers in their field. The George Taylor Written Paper Prize, established in memory of the renowned Australian aeronautical engineer George Taylor, is a prestigious award granted annually by the Royal Aeronautical Society for the best written paper on aeronautical science or technology. This photograph stands as a testament to the dedication and innovation of the aeronautical community during this period in history.
