EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures John Marten Rush Cripps (1887-1950) moments after receiving his Pilot's Certificate No. 698 from the Grahame-White Flying School in Hendon, London, on 2 December 1913. The historic moment marked the successful completion of Cripps' aviation training, making him one of the early pioneers of flight in the United Kingdom. Dressed in a leather flying helmet and goggles, Cripps exudes a sense of determination and excitement as he holds up his certificate, surrounded by the backdrop of early aircraft and planes that were a common sight at the flying school during that era. The Grahame-White Flying School, established in 1910, was one of the first flying schools in the world, and its reputation for producing skilled pilots made it a popular destination for aspiring aviators. John Marten Rush Cripps was born on 8 December 1887, and his passion for aviation led him to pursue pilot training at a time when flying was still a relatively new and daring endeavor. The certificate, issued in 1950, serves as a testament to his dedication and achievement in the field of transport aviation. With the roar of engines and the thrill of flight, Cripps joined the ranks of the brave men and women who took to the skies, paving the way for the aviation industry as we know it today. The photograph, taken in the late 1940s or early 1950s, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the world was just beginning to embrace the possibilities of flight. This image is a valuable piece of aviation history, capturing the spirit of adventure and innovation that characterized the early days of aviation.
