EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the daring Mr E Wilson as he prepares to launch his Pettigrew Wing Type Ornithopter from the towering heights of the Watkin Tower in Wembley Park, London, UK in 1905. The ornithopter's unique design and powered flight capabilities make it a truly fascinating sight to behold.
As Mr Wilson stands proudly beside his creation, one can't help but marvel at the sheer audacity and ingenuity required to take flight in such a contraption. The danger inherent in this early form of aircraft is palpable, yet Wilson's determination and courage shine through as he prepares for takeoff.
The vintage quality of this archival image transports us back to a time when aviation was still in its infancy, with pioneers like Mr Wilson pushing the boundaries of what was thought possible. The flapping wings of the ornithopter add an extra element of intrigue to an already mesmerizing scene.
This photograph serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of air travel technology, while also highlighting the spirit of adventure and exploration that drove individuals like Mr E Wilson to reach for the skies. It is a snapshot of history that continues to inspire awe and wonder today.
