EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Wg Cdr James Jimmy Leonard Dell (1924-2008) in his element as he prepares for a test flight on an English Electric aircraft in 1959. Born in 1924, Dell's passion for aviation began at an early age, leading him to join the Royal Air Force (RAF) in 1942. After distinguished service during World War II, he transitioned to civilian life and was appointed as the deputy chief test pilot at English Electric in 1959. In this image, Dell is seen wearing his flight helmet and goggles, intently studying the instrument panel of the sleek, modern aircraft before him. The plane, an English Electric model, is seen in the background, its wings outstretched and ready for takeoff. The atmosphere is tense with anticipation, as Dell prepares to embark on another important test flight. Dell's career as a test pilot was marked by his exceptional skill, courage, and dedication. He played a crucial role in the development and testing of various aircraft models during the post-war era, contributing significantly to the advancement of aviation technology. This photograph is a testament to Dell's unwavering commitment to aviation and his role as a pioneer in the field. It also serves as a reminder of the thrill and excitement that comes with pushing the boundaries of human achievement and innovation.
