EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the sleek and elegant design of the Armstrong Whitworth Siskin III, registration number G-EBJQ, as it soars through the sky during the 1924 King's Cup Race. The Siskin III, a two-seat biplane, was a popular choice among aviators during the interwar period for its exceptional performance and agility. In this image, we see Flt Lt H.W.G. Jones at the helm of the aircraft, focusing intently on the race course below. The determination and concentration on his face are palpable as he expertly maneuvers the plane through the air. The Siskin III, with its distinctive curved wings and streamlined fuselage, cuts through the clouds with grace and power. The King's Cup Race, an annual air race held in the United Kingdom, attracted some of the most skilled pilots and advanced aircraft of the time. The Siskin III, with its impressive speed and handling, was a formidable competitor. Flt Lt Jones' participation in the race underscores the plane's reputation as a high-performance aircraft and the skill of its pilots. This photograph is a testament to the golden age of aviation, a time when the spirit of innovation and adventure drove the development of new and extraordinary aircraft. The Armstrong Whitworth Siskin III, G-EBJQ, remains an iconic symbol of this era, and this image captures its beauty and power in a way that continues to inspire and captivate.
