Cutty From Junior Perfect Sark Saunders Verdon
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Lord Junior, Sir Alliott Verdon Roe, and Mr. Perfect stand proudly in front of the Saunders-Roe Cutty Sark, registration number G-aIP. This image, captured in the annals of aviation history, showcases three notable figures in the early days of flight. Sir Alliott Verdon Roe (1877-1959), a British aviation pioneer, is the most prominent figure in this photograph. He is considered one of the founding fathers of the aviation industry, having built some of the earliest successful aircraft in the UK. Verdon Roe's designs, including the Avro 504 and Avro 505, were widely used for military training during World War I. Lord Junior, whose real name is Edward Montagu-Stuart-Wortley, is the second figure in the photograph. He was a British aristocrat and a passionate aviator. His association with Sir Alliott Verdon Roe is not well documented, but it is known that he owned several aircraft designed by Verdon Roe. Mr. Perfect, the third figure, is less known but equally intriguing. He is believed to be a test pilot or an engineer working for Saunders-Roe, the aircraft manufacturing company. The Saunders-Roe Cutty Sark, a twin-engine flying boat, is a testament to the innovative spirit of the time. This aircraft, designed for maritime transport, was a significant advancement in aviation technology. This photograph, taken at an undisclosed location, offers a glimpse into the past, when aviation was in its infancy and the possibilities seemed endless. The trio stands before the Cutty Sark, embodying the spirit of adventure, innovation, and determination that characterized the early days of aviation.
