EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, taken on 4th January 1952, we find Flt Lt A.D. Piggott, the chief instructor, imparting his knowledge to a group of eager schoolmasters at Detling, near Maidstone, Kent. The serene setting of Detling, with its picturesque landscape, provides an idyllic backdrop for this educational encounter. Flt Lt Piggott, a distinguished figure in his uniform, stands confidently beside a glider, his hands gesturing towards the various controls as he explains the intricacies of flight. In the cockpit of the glider, J.L. Smith, a chemistry master from Dollar Academy in Scotland, focuses intently on the instruction. The other schoolmasters, all wearing suits and ties, listen attentively, their expressions reflecting a mix of fascination and determination. The glider, an essential component of their training, sits poised and ready for takeoff. Its sleek design and minimalist cockpit showcase the simplicity and elegance of aviation technology. The photograph captures a moment of learning and discovery, as these educators gain a newfound appreciation for the science and art of flying. This image offers a glimpse into a bygone era, where the thrill of aviation was still a novelty, and the pursuit of knowledge was a shared endeavor. It serves as a testament to the transformative power of education and the enduring allure of the skies.
