EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the excitement of the Grand Aerostatic Fete at Aylesbury, held on the spacious meadow of Mr. T.J. Hinds of the Black Swan Inn, Cambridge Street, on the 11th of July, 1849. The fete marked the 416th ascent of renowned balloonist, Mr. Charles Green, in his majestic Royal Victoria Balloon. The event drew a large crowd, who gathered to witness the spectacle of hot air ballooning in the early Victorian era. Mr. Green's balloon, adorned with vibrant colours and regal insignia, ascended gracefully from the meadow, accompanied by the melodic tunes of the Royal Thame Brass Band. An added thrill was the launch of a parachute containing a living animal from the balloon car, adding an element of adventure to the day's proceedings. The scene is further enhanced by the backdrop of a rainbow, adding a touch of whimsy and magic to the event. Buckinghamshire's picturesque countryside provides a beautiful setting for this historic moment in aviation history. The photograph, taken during the 1840s, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the spirit of transportation and innovation that characterized the era. The Royal Aeronautical Society's archives, housed at the National Aerospace Library, preserve this precious piece of history, allowing us to appreciate the wonder and excitement that surrounded early ballooning.
