The historic moment captured in this print takes us back to the 9th of October, 1933, at the Blackburn works in Brough, England. Here we witness the magnificent sight of the first Blackburn Perth flying boat on its slipway, ready to take flight into aviation history. The atmosphere is electric as Lady Atkins christens this remarkable aircraft before it embarks on its maiden voyage. Surrounded by a crowd of enthusiastic spectators, both military personnel and civilians alike gather to witness this groundbreaking event. The significance of this moment is not lost on anyone present; they understand that they are witnessing a pivotal development in air force technology. The sleek design and sheer size of the flying boat command attention as it rests gracefully upon the River Humber. This maritime reconnaissance aircraft represents a new era for aerial warfare capabilities and showcases British engineering prowess during the thirties.

Its presence here serves as a testament to Yorkshire's contribution to aviation history.
