EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment frozen in time at RAF Ansty aerodrome in 1938. The group of instructors, accompanied by several Volunteer Reservists, stand proudly together, representing the dedication and camaraderie that defined the Royal Air Force during this era. Seated prominently in the front row are esteemed individuals who played significant roles within the aviation community. Flying Officer E. S. Greenwood, Mr. C. Hellyer, Squadron Leader C. B. Riddle (Town Commandant), Flight Lieutenant Pope D. F. C. , Flying Officer L. W. Howard (Chief Flying Instructor), Mr. G. H Wright, and Mr. J Bignal exude an air of authority and expertise. The backdrop showcases a fleet of Hawker Hart biplanes standing tall on the tarmac behind them - symbols of power and technological advancement during those times. This snapshot offers a glimpse into England's rich aviation history as it prepared for potential conflicts ahead while also highlighting the importance placed on training future pilots to defend their nation's skies. Preserved with care by Memory Lane Prints, this print serves as a poignant reminder of an era when brave men dedicated themselves to protecting their country through aerial warfare - an invaluable piece of heritage from Warwickshire's West Midlands region.
