The image captures a moment of profound significance for both men and the world of flight. On the left stands R. F. Mitchell, an esteemed engineer known for his groundbreaking work on aircraft design. His visionary ideas would later shape some of the most iconic airplanes ever built. With a determined expression on his face, he exudes confidence and passion for pushing boundaries in aviation. Beside him stands Henry Royce, renowned as one half of Rolls-Royce Limited – an automotive company that expanded its expertise into aircraft engine manufacturing.
