EDITORS COMMENTS
Aviation pioneer Sir Alan Cobham stands proudly in front of his trusty de Havilland DH.60 Moth biplane, G-EBKT, in 1925. This iconic aircraft played a significant role in Cobham's remarkable career, including flying from Croydon to Zurich and back in an impressive 14 hours and 49 minutes on May 29th of that year. The Moth was also his mount for the King's Cup Air Race, where he placed second despite being forced to land short of the finish due to weather conditions. With its lightweight design and powerful Cirrus engine, this two-seat touring and training biplane was a marvel of its time. Photographed after his record-breaking flight, this image captures Cobham's enthusiasm and dedication to aviation innovation during the early days of British flight.
