EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken outside the Grand Hotel in Brighton during the third Anglo-American Aeronautical Conference in 1951, features three prominent figures in the field of aeronautical transport. From left to right, we see Miss J. Farthing, Dr Archibald Merton Ballantyne, and Florence Barwood. Dr. Ballantyne, a renowned figure in aeronautical engineering, served as the Secretary of the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAS) from 1951 to 1973. He was instrumental in fostering international cooperation in aeronautical research and development. Florence Barwood, an accomplished aviator and pioneering woman in aviation, is seen here in her element, surrounded by the latest aircraft technology. Her presence at the conference underscores the growing role of women in the aviation industry. The backdrop of the Grand Hotel adds an air of elegance and sophistication to the scene. The conference, held from September 4-7, 1951, brought together leading experts from both the United States and the United Kingdom to discuss the latest advancements in aviation technology. The presence of American delegates is evident from the American flag displayed prominently on the hotel facade. The photograph captures a moment in time when the future of aviation was being shaped by the collective efforts of brilliant minds and pioneering spirits. The image of these three individuals, gathered outside the Grand Hotel in Brighton, stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of innovation and collaboration that has driven the aviation industry forward.
