Night Flying at Hendon: A Vintage Aviation Moment from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, Mary Evans Prints Online This vintage photograph, titled 'Night Flying at Hendon,' transports us back in time to an era of romance and adventure in aviation history. The image, from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, captures the thrill and mystery of night flying during the late Victorian or Edwardian period. The photograph, taken at Hendon Aerodrome in London, shows a brave pilot skillfully maneuvering an early aircraft against the backdrop of a star-studded night sky. The pilot's determination and focus are evident as he guides the biplane through the darkness, illuminated only by the warm glow of a lantern held aloft. The runway below is bathed in the soft, yellow light of lamps, creating a striking contrast against the inky blackness of the night. Hendon Aerodrome, located in the northwest outskirts of London, was one of the earliest and most significant aviation centers in the United Kingdom. Established in 1903, it played a pivotal role in the development of British aviation, with many pioneering pilots training there, including the famous aviator Amy Johnson. This photograph, with its intriguing composition and evocative atmosphere, offers a fascinating glimpse into the early days of aviation. It is a testament to the courage and ingenuity of the pioneering pilots who dared to take to the skies, even in the darkest hours of the night. This image is a must-have for aviation enthusiasts, historians, and anyone who appreciates the beauty and romance of the early days of flight.
