EDITORS COMMENTS
Eight members of the Royal Flying Corps take flight on a historic Concorde journey from Heathrow Airport, London, capturing the essence of aviation across generations. In this print by Dennis Stone, we witness the convergence of past and present as these distinguished gentlemen embark on a two-hour joyride aboard the iconic supersonic aircraft. Amongst them is Eric Hoylands, an 87-year-old cap-swapper hailing from Middlestown, West Yorks. Alongside him stands Concorde Captain Monty Burton, donning a First World War flying helmet—an emblematic symbol bridging eras in aviation history. Another notable figure is Robert Corkling, aged 86 and representing West Sussex. The image encapsulates not only their shared enthusiasm for flight but also pays homage to their collective experiences and contributions to aerial exploration. As they soar through the skies above London's bustling airport, one can't help but marvel at how far technology has advanced since their days in service. This photograph transports us back to October 11th, 1980—a time when Concorde represented the pinnacle of luxury air travel and engineering prowess. It serves as a reminder that even with age comes an enduring passion for adventure and discovery. Dennis Stone's snapshot immortalizes this remarkable moment where dreams took flight once again for these esteemed veterans of aviation history.
