EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black-and-white photograph, Miss Jenny Thom, a dedicated staff member of the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS), gracefully models an exquisite 1866 dress on the terrace steps outside the Argyll Room. The image, captured in 1966, offers a fascinating juxtaposition of two distinct eras - the elegance of the Victorian period and the modernity of the mid-20th century. Miss Thom's poised demeanor and timeless beauty are accentuated by the intricate details of the antique dress, which features a high collar, voluminous skirt, and delicate lace sleeves. The flowing fabric gently billows in the wind, adding to the ethereal quality of the scene. Surrounding Miss Thom, the terrace steps lead up to the Argyll Room, where the RAeS held numerous events and meetings. The terrace offers a stunning view of the London skyline, with the silhouettes of planes, or perhaps aircraft or aeroplanes, gracefully soaring through the sky in the background. This visual blend of the old and the new underscores the society's rich history and its commitment to embracing innovation in the field of aeronautics. The photograph, taken in 1966, was a unique moment in time that showcases the harmony between the past and the future. Miss Jenny Thom's elegant portrayal of the 1866 dress on the RAeS terrace serves as a testament to the society's enduring legacy and its unwavering dedication to the advancement of aeronautical knowledge and technology.
