EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from August 1972, we are transported back in time to Selsey, Sussex, where an extraordinary event unfolded. A staggering crowd of 5000 holidaymakers gathered at the picturesque seaside town to witness a spectacle that would leave them in awe and amusement. Perched atop a towering structure measuring 30ft high at the Selsey lifeboat station were 15 brave men accompanied by two daring companions. These individuals were known as "birdmen" and their mission was nothing short of audacious - they aimed to win a coveted £1,000 prize. As the excitement reached its peak, all eyes turned towards the birdmen preparing for takeoff. With hearts pounding and adrenaline rushing through their veins, these fearless souls launched themselves into the air with hopes of soaring like birds across the Channel. However, fate had other plans for one particular birdman captured in this image. As he gracefully leaped off the tower into open skies above the glistening sea below, his flight took an unexpected turn. Instead of gliding effortlessly towards his destination like his fellow competitors did earlier that day, he found himself descending rapidly towards an untimely flop. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also showcases human ingenuity mixed with eccentricity and humor. It serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with flight and our willingness to push boundaries even when faced with unconventional challenges. Memory Lane Prints allows us to relive such remarkable moments from history while celebrating customs and traditions that.
