EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing glass slide depicts the esteemed aviation pioneer, Air Vice-Marshal Sir Sefton Brancker, KCB, AFC, FRAeS (1877-1930), during his tenure as President of the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS) in 1926-1927. The slide, which dates back to 1930, captures Sir Sefton in his formal attire, sitting in a chair with an aviation background. The image is notable for the visible crack running through the glass, adding an element of intrigue and history to the photograph. Sir Sefton Brancker was a highly respected figure in the field of aviation, having made significant contributions to the development of air transport. He joined the Royal Flying Corps in 1912 and saw active service during World War I. After the war, he became involved in the commercial aviation industry, serving as Chairman of the RAeS in 1925-1926 and later becoming its President in 1926-1927. Sir Sefton's passion for aviation led him to fly in some of the earliest aircraft, including the Sopwith Camel and the Avro 504. He was awarded the Air Force Cross (AFC) for his bravery and achievements during the war, and was later knighted (KCB) for his services to aviation. This glass slide is a rare and fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the life of a man who played a crucial role in the history of aviation. Despite the crack, the image remains a testament to Sir Sefton Brancker's enduring legacy and his significant contributions to the field.
