EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo, we see 13-year-old David Roberts from Higham Road, Tottenham, London, eagerly testing the controls of the Link Trainer. The young schoolboy is dressed in a smart uniform and wears round glasses that add to his serious demeanor. With his hands firmly gripping the steering wheel-like control panel, David appears focused as he experiences simulated flying conditions at an astonishing speed of 600 miles per hour. This snapshot was taken during a preview of the Schoolboys Own Exhibition held at the Royal Horticultural Halls in Westminster on December 29th, 1953. The exhibition showcased various educational displays aimed at inspiring young minds like David's. Shell-mex and BP Ltd. , not to be confused with any commercial use or affiliation mentioned here, proudly presented this particular exhibit. The image captures both curiosity and determination in David's eyes as he explores new horizons through this advanced flight simulator. It serves as a reminder of how technology can ignite dreams within children who dare to dream big. This timeless photograph by General perfectly encapsulates a moment frozen in time - one where a young boy's aspirations take flight amidst an era marked by innovation and possibility
