EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, taken in 1949, members of The Royal Aeronautical Society gathered at No. 4 Hamilton Place for a special dinner to celebrate the granting of their Royal Charter. The Royal Aeronautical Society, the world's oldest aeronautical society, was founded in 1866 and had long been at the forefront of advancing aviation technology and knowledge. The granting of the Royal Charter on December 22, 1948, was a significant milestone in the society's history, and the dinner served as an opportunity for its members to come together and celebrate this achievement. The image captures the excitement and sense of camaraderie among the attendees as they gather around tables adorned with fine china and crystal glassware. At the head table, Dr. Harold Roxbee Cox, the President of the Royal Aeronautical Society from 1947 to 1949, and his wife, Mrs. Roxbee Cox, are seen in conversation with other distinguished guests. The room is filled with the soft glow of table lamps, casting a warm and inviting light over the scene. In the background, the walls of No. 4 Hamilton Place are adorned with paintings and prints depicting various modes of transport, from early hot air balloons to sleek, modern aircraft. These visual reminders of the society's rich history and the progression of aeronautical engineering are a fitting backdrop to the festivities. The photograph stands as a testament to the passion and dedication of the members of The Royal Aeronautical Society, who came together to celebrate their shared love of flight and the advancements that had been made in the field. It is a reminder of the important role that such organizations play in fostering innovation and pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the realm of aviation.
