EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, Dr. George Gardner, later to become the Director of the Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE), stands by a Cordite-fired catapult on the deck of the Royal Navy destroyer HMS Stronghold. The occasion is the first flight of the RAE Larynx cruise missile, which took place on July 20, 1927, in the Bristol Channel, UK. The RAE Larynx was a pioneering development in the field of missile technology, marking a significant step towards the creation of guided weapons systems. The missile was designed and built at the Royal Aircraft Establishment, and its first flight from a moving ship was a crucial milestone in its development. The photograph captures the excitement and anticipation of the moment before the missile's launch. Dr. Gardner, dressed in a suit and hat, watches intently as the Larynx missile is loaded onto the catapult. The crew of HMS Stronghold stands ready, their expressions a mix of concentration and nervousness. The missile itself is visible in the foreground, its sleek shape and aerodynamic design a testament to the advanced engineering of the time. Unfortunately, the first flight of the RAE Larynx did not go as planned. The missile crashed into the Bristol Channel shortly after takeoff, marking a setback in its development. Despite this setback, the RAE continued to refine the design, and the Larynx eventually became the world's first successful ship-launched missile. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique insight into the early days of missile technology and the pioneering work of the Royal Aircraft Establishment. The image captures the spirit of innovation and determination that drove scientists and engineers to push the boundaries of what was possible, paving the way for the advanced weapons systems we know today.
