25th Anniversary Celebrate Colonel Dinner Flyer Held Master Sempill Suggestion Wright

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, members of the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAS) gather for a special dinner celebration held beneath the original 1903 Wright Flyer, on display at the Science Museum in London. The event marked the 25th anniversary of the world's first powered and controlled airplane flight by the Wright Brothers, Orville and Wilbur, on December 17, 1903, in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. The idea for the dinner was suggested by Colonel The Master of Sempill, adding an extra layer of significance to the occasion. The RAS, founded in 1866, is the oldest aeronautical society in the world, making it the perfect organization to honor this milestone in aviation history. The original Wright Flyer, serial number 0001, is a significant artifact in the history of aviation. It was the first powered aircraft to achieve controlled, sustained flight with a heavier-than-air design. The aircraft, which is now a priceless relic, is on permanent display at the Science Museum in London, attracting aviation enthusiasts and history buffs from around the world. The dinner was an opportunity for the RAS members to come together and celebrate the incredible achievements of the Wright Brothers and the progress of aviation technology over the past 25 years. The image captures the excitement and sense of accomplishment in the room, as the guests dine beneath the iconic aircraft that started it all. The photograph is a testament to the enduring fascination with flight and the innovation that continues to drive the aviation industry forward.
