EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from March 1976, key figures from the aeronautical industry gather at the Hatfield Branch for a Halford Lecture. The event, presided over by Charles Abell, OBE, FSLAET, CEng, FRAeS, who served as the President of the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAS) from 1976 to 1977, brought together industry leaders and innovators to share knowledge and advance the field of aeronautical engineering. Standing to the left of Abell is Dr. M. Parker, the deputy chief engineer at BA Helicopters Ltd. Next to him is Captain Jock A. Cameron, the managing director of BA Helicopters Ltd, proudly holding a model of the British Airways Chinook helicopter. On the far right is Cyril Bethwaite, the Chairman of the Hatfield Branch, who played a pivotal role in organizing the lecture series. The Halford Lectures, named after the renowned aeronautical engineer Sir Geoffrey de Havilland, have been a cornerstone of the RAS since their inception in 1923. These lectures provide a platform for experts to discuss the latest advancements and challenges in aeronautical engineering, fostering innovation and collaboration within the industry. This photograph captures a moment in time when these influential figures came together to celebrate the past achievements and look towards the future of aviation technology. The British Airways Chinook, a testament to the engineering prowess of the time, stands as a symbol of the progress that the industry had made and the potential for continued innovation.
