EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history as George, Duke of Kent, the younger son of King George V, arrives by aeroplane at Mousehold Aerodrome in Norwich. The year is 1902 and the Duke of Kent exudes an air of confidence and adventure as he steps off the plane wearing flying helmets, goggles, and shorts.
Little did anyone know that this dashing young royal would meet his tragic end in an air crash just forty years later. Despite his untimely death in 1942, this image immortalizes him in a moment of vitality and excitement.
The photograph serves as a reminder of the risks taken by early aviators like the Duke of Kent who pushed boundaries and embraced new technologies. It also highlights the glamour and prestige associated with aviation during this era.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when flying was still a novelty and reserved for only the most daring individuals. The Duke's legacy lives on through images like these that capture his spirit of adventure and fearlessness.
