EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, taken at Brooklands in 1918, Captain H. Robin Rowell readies himself for takeoff in the first Sopwith TF2 Salamander, registration number E5429. The naval officer assisting him is Lieutenant Denis Allen. The Sopwith TF2 Salamander was a two-seat, single-engine transport aircraft, designed primarily for the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS) during World War I. Its distinctive feature was its pontoon undercarriage, which allowed it to take off and land on water. On this day, 9 May 1918, Captain Rowell was preparing for a flight to France, marking one of the earliest long-range flights made by the Salamander. The aircraft, with its powerful Rolls-Royce Eagle engine, was capable of carrying supplies and personnel over long distances, making it an invaluable asset to the war effort. Lieutenant Allen, a naval officer, is seen in the photograph providing assistance to Captain Rowell as he prepares for takeoff. The Salamander's engine roars in the background, adding to the sense of urgency and excitement in the scene. The photograph captures a pivotal moment in aviation history, as the first Sopwith TF2 Salamander prepares to embark on a journey that would help change the course of the war. The image is a testament to the bravery and innovation of the pilots and engineers who made such feats possible. This photograph is a rare and valuable record of aviation history, and a reminder of the crucial role that aircraft played in the military efforts of the early 20th century. It is a fascinating glimpse into the past, and a reminder of the pioneering spirit that drove the development of aviation technology.
