EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the 1980s, we find ourselves transported back in time to a regional gliding competition where the sleek and agile EoN Olympia 2 AZT (msn Eon/0/063, BGA 797) takes center stage. The EoN Olympia 2 AZT, a glider manufactured by European glider company EoN, is seen poised for takeoff against the backdrop of a clear blue sky, its wings outstretched and gleaming in the sunlight. The 1980s were an exciting era for aviation, and gliding competitions were a popular way for enthusiasts to showcase their skills and passion for flight. In this image, the EoN Olympia 2 AZT, with its distinctive curved wings and streamlined design, is a testament to the advancements in glider technology during this time. The pilot, dressed in a white jumpsuit and helmet, readies himself for the flight of a lifetime. The tension in the air is palpable as the ground crew checks the last-minute preparations, ensuring that every detail is in order before the plane leaves the ground. The anticipation is shared by the crowd of spectators, who gather around the runway, cameras in hand, eager to capture the moment. As the EoN Olympia 2 AZT lifts off, the roar of the wind in its sails replaces the sound of engines, and the plane glides smoothly into the sky, leaving the competition ground far below. The scene is a beautiful reminder of the freedom and exhilaration that comes with flight, and the enduring allure of aviation. This photograph, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the simple joy of soaring through the skies was enough to captivate the hearts and minds of all who witnessed it.
