1877 1958 Alongside Blackpool Meeting Triplane
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, taken in 1958, we find A.V. Roe (Alfred Victor Roe), the esteemed British aviation pioneer, standing proudly next to his groundbreaking invention, the Triplane. The image was captured during the 1910 Blackpool meeting, an event that marked a significant milestone in the history of aviation. Born on January 7, 1877, Roe was a visionary engineer and designer who made his mark on the world of aviation with his innovative designs and relentless pursuit of progress. His Triplane, a three-winged aircraft, was a testament to his ingenuity and his willingness to challenge conventional wisdom. The Triplane made its first flight on July 12, 1910, at Brooklands, Surrey, and quickly gained attention for its unique design and impressive performance. Roe's creation was unlike any other aircraft of its time, featuring three wings that provided greater lift and stability, making it a favorite among pilots and aviation enthusiasts. In this photograph, Roe, then in his late 80s, stands tall and confident, his eyes reflecting the pride and satisfaction that came with having created such a remarkable machine. The Triplane, with its distinctive wings and sleek lines, looms large in the background, a testament to the power of human ingenuity and the limitless possibilities of flight. The 1910 Blackpool meeting was an opportunity for Roe to showcase his Triplane to the world and to share his passion for aviation with others. This photograph captures a moment in time when the future of flight was still being written, and the dreams of the past were becoming the reality of the present. As we look at this image, we are reminded of the remarkable journey of A.V. Roe and his Triplane, a journey that began with a vision and ended with a legacy that continues to inspire and captivate us to this day.
