EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, aviators C.W.A. Scott (right) and Giles Guthrie are seen meticulously inspecting their Percival Vega Gull, registration number G-AEKE, in preparation for the upcoming Schlesinger Portsmouth to Johannesburg air race. The year is not explicitly stated, but it can be inferred that this image was taken during a year in which they emerged victorious in the prestigious Kings Cup Race, making their aircraft a formidable contender in the upcoming competition. The Percival Vega Gull, a single-engine, two-seat, low-wing monoplane, had already proven its worth on the race circuit, with its sleek design and powerful engine making it a favorite among pilots. Scott and Guthrie's careful examination of every detail, from the engine to the wings, speaks to their dedication and expertise as skilled aviators. The Schlesinger Portsmouth to Johannesburg race was a long-distance, transcontinental air race that tested the endurance and skill of both the aircraft and its pilots. With the Kings Cup Race win under their belts, Scott and Guthrie were poised to take on the challenge, confident in their ability to navigate the vast expanse of the African continent and reach the finish line first. This photograph captures a moment of quiet determination and focus as the two pilots prepare for the adventure of a lifetime, their eyes on the prize and their hearts set on victory. The Percival Vega Gull, with its gleaming wings and powerful engine, stands ready to carry them across the finish line and into aviation history.
