EDITORS COMMENTS
"This photograph captures the moment of history as Flight Lieutenant George Hedley Stainforth, a brave and pioneering British aviator, soared through the skies aboard the Supermarine S6B aircraft, breaking the 400mph speed record in 1931. Born in 1899, Stainforth was a decorated military pilot who had already made a name for himself in the aviation world. As he took off from the shoreline, the wind whipped through his goggles, and the roar of the engine filled the air. The Supermarine S6B, a sleek and innovative design by the renowned British aircraft manufacturer, was the perfect vessel for Stainforth's record-breaking flight. With its streamlined shape and powerful engine, it was built to push the boundaries of aviation technology. As Stainforth reached ever greater speeds, the world watched with bated breath. The clock ticked down, and finally, the moment arrived. Stainforth had done it. He had exceeded the 400mph mark, shattering the previous record and cementing his place in aviation history. This photograph is a testament to the spirit of innovation and adventure that drove aviators like Stainforth to push the limits of what was thought possible. It is a reminder of the thrill and excitement of early aviation, and the incredible achievements of those who dared to dream and fly." Mary Evans Picture Library / Mary Evans Prints Online.
