The Olympia International Aero Exhibition 1928
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a momentous event in aviation history. This iconic print takes us back to the early days of air shows and exhibitions, reminding us of the incredible progress made in the field of aviation during the 20th century. First held in 1909, this exhibition had a brief hiatus due to World War I but resumed its glory in 1920. It eventually transformed into what we now know as the S. B. A. C Show at Farnborough. The photograph showcases an array of magnificent planes that were on display during this renowned event. In particular, our attention is drawn to the Supermarine S5, proudly positioned at the top right corner. This remarkable aircraft had achieved great acclaim by winning the prestigious Schneider Trophy in Venice just a year prior. Its sleek design and impressive performance symbolize both innovation and triumph within aviation. As we gaze upon this image, it serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination. The Olympia International Aero Exhibition provided a platform for industry leaders, enthusiasts, and curious onlookers alike to witness firsthand the marvels of flight technology. This print from Memory Lane Prints allows us to relive an era when air shows were not only about entertainment but also about pushing boundaries and shaping our future transportation systems. It reminds us that behind every plane lies countless hours of dedication from engineers, pilots, and visionaries who dared to dream big – forever changing how we navigate our world through skies above.
