EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Supermarine aeroplane, Rolls-Royce S.6, a legendary seaplane that dominated the International Schneider Trophy Air Races in the 1920s. Manufactured at the Supermarine Aviation Works (Vickers) Limited in Southampton, UK, this aircraft was a marvel of engineering and design. The Rolls-Royce S.6 set the world speed record three times, reaching an astounding speed of 357.7 mph in 1929. This seaplane's sleek design, featuring its distinctive floaters, made it a formidable competitor on both land and sea. The International Schneider Trophy was a prestigious air racing competition established in 1913 to promote the development of seaplanes and water take-off and landing techniques. The Rolls-Royce S.6's victories in 1922, 1927, and 1929 solidified its place in aviation history. This photograph, taken circa 1930s, captures the essence of a bygone era, when innovation and competition drove the boundaries of flight. The Supermarine aeroplane, Rolls-Royce S.6, remains an iconic symbol of the golden age of aviation.
