EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph captures a moment in aviation history at the Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE) in Farnborough, England, in 1922. In the image, a man is seen holding the tail of a RAF AT Aerial-Target 1922 drone, affectionately known as a RAF-AT, while it sits atop a trolley. The RAF-AT was an early unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or drone, used for target practice by the Royal Flying Corps and later the Royal Air Force. The innovative technology of the RAF-AT was groundbreaking for its time, and this photograph offers a unique glimpse into its design and operation. The drone, which was launched without an undercarriage from the deck of HMS Argus, appears to be ready for its next mission. The man's casual demeanor and the trolley's simple design add a touch of humor and nostalgia to the scene. The RAE, which was established in 1917, played a crucial role in the development of British aviation, and this photograph is a testament to the pioneering spirit and ingenuity of its engineers and researchers. The RAF-AT was just one of many groundbreaking innovations that came out of the establishment, which continues to push the boundaries of aviation technology to this day. This photograph is a fascinating snapshot of a bygone era in aviation history, and it invites us to marvel at the technological advancements that have come before us. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of innovation and the human curiosity that drives it forward.
