EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the spirit of adventure and determination embodied by Marjorie Rosamond Seton Dower Vereker, an extraordinary aviatrix of the 1930s. The image, taken on 22nd June 1930 at Heston Aerodrome, shows Marjorie confidently seated in the cockpit of her aircraft, ready for takeoff during The Brigade of Guards' annual flying meeting at their headquarters at Heston Air Park. Marjorie, wife of Sir (George) Gordon Medlicott Vereker, is dressed in her flying gear, including goggles and a helmet, as she prepares to navigate her biplane through the skies. The event marked a significant moment in aviation history, as both men and women pilots gathered to compete for the coveted cup. The 1930s were a pivotal decade for aviation, with pioneering women like Amelia Earhart and Bessie Coleman breaking barriers and inspiring a new generation of aviators. Marjorie's presence at the meeting underscores her role as a trailblazing female aviator, pushing boundaries and challenging gender norms in the field. The Peter Butt Aviation Collection, now part of Mary Evans Picture Library, captures this moment in time, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the incredible achievements of early aviators like Marjorie Rosamond Seton Dower Vereker.
