EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the excitement and innovation of the Schneider Trophy competition held at Calshot Spit, England in 1929. The Schneider Trophy, also known as the Coupe Aviation Maritime Jacques Schneider, was an annual (later biannual) air race for seaplanes and flying boats, named after its founder, Jacques Schneider. The event, which began in 1913, aimed to promote the development of seaplanes and flying boats for long-distance travel and military use. In this image, we see the moment of triumph for British pilot Richard Waghorn as he crosses the finish line in the Supermarine S.6, a sleek and advanced seaplane designed by R.J. Mitchell. The Supermarine S.6 set a new world seaplane speed record of 227.75 miles per hour, making Waghorn the winner of the 1929 Schneider Trophy. The United Kingdom would go on to dominate the competition for several years, with the Supermarine S.6B setting the absolute seaplane speed record of 318.4 mph in 1931. Calshot Spit, located in the Solent, provided an ideal location for the Schneider Trophy races due to its sheltered waters and consistent winds. The event drew thousands of spectators each year, who came to witness the thrilling displays of speed and skill. The Schneider Trophy competition played a significant role in the advancement of aviation technology, pushing the boundaries of what was thought possible in aircraft design and engineering.
