EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The Birdmen of Bognor" we witness Jerry Pascoe experiencing a rather unfortunate moment during the flying competition held on the end of Bognor pier. The year was 1979, and participants from all walks of life gathered to showcase their unique contraptions in hopes of winning the coveted £3,000 first prize for staying airborne for a distance of 50 meters. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time, it becomes evident that none of the peculiar and marvelous entries managed to claim victory. However, Jerry's misfortune adds an element of humor to the scene. With his arms flailing and expression filled with surprise, he appears to be having quite a bad spell mid-flight. Transported back to this era marked by its aviation advancements and daring competitions, we are reminded of humanity's relentless pursuit to conquer the skies. The photograph encapsulates both man's ingenuity and our ability to find amusement even amidst setbacks. "The Birdmen of Bognor" serves as a delightful reminder that not every venture takes flight successfully but nonetheless leaves an indelible mark on history. This image captures a moment where dreams soared high above Bognor pier while showcasing the determination and lightheartedness inherent in these audacious birdmen who dared defy gravity itself.
