EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a historic moment in aviation history as The Prince of Wales, later King Edward VIII, and The Duke of Kent, arrive at Smiths Lawn in Windsor Great Park following their transatlantic flight from South America on 29 April 1931. The royal duo had embarked on an extensive tour of South America in March 1931, and this image marks their return to the United Kingdom. The aircraft that brought them home was an Armstrong Whitworth Argosy I, registered as G-EBLF, affectionately known as "City of Glasgow." This advanced aircraft, a testament to the technological prowess of the era, had taken them on an impressive journey across the Atlantic Ocean. The image shows the Argosy I, with its distinctive streamlined design and elegant lines, parked gracefully on the lush grass of Smiths Lawn. Surrounded by a crowd of onlookers, The Prince of Wales and The Duke of Kent disembark from the plane, exuding an air of confidence and excitement. The Argosy I was a significant aircraft for its time, with a cruising speed of 130 miles per hour and a range of over 1,000 miles. Its advanced features, such as retractable landing gear and a pressurized cabin, made long-distance flights more comfortable and efficient. This photograph not only captures the spirit of adventure and innovation of the early aviation era but also the excitement of the public as they witnessed the marvels of modern transportation. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of royalty and the fascination with the skies, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical photographs.
