EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Edgar Percival, a renowned British aviation pioneer and founder of the Edgar Percival Aircraft Company, is warmly received by the President and Mrs. E.T. Jones of the Royal Aeronautical Society at the 1956 Garden Party held at Wisley on 15 July. The tranquil setting of the garden party provides a charming contrast to the innovative world of aviation that Edgar Percival represents. Edgar Percival, dressed impeccably in a suit and tie, is beaming with pride as he shakes hands with the esteemed couple. The President of the Royal Aeronautical Society, Mr. Jones, wears a formal suit and a proud expression, while his wife, Mrs. Jones, looks on with a smile. The trio stands in front of a beautiful floral arrangement, adding an elegant touch to the scene. The background of the photograph is filled with an array of aircraft, both large and small, showcasing the diversity and progress of aviation technology. The presence of these planes underscores the significance of Edgar Percival's contributions to the field, as he was a leading figure in the design and manufacture of light aircraft in the post-war era. The Garden Party at Wisley was an annual event organized by the Royal Aeronautical Society to celebrate the achievements of the aviation community and foster a sense of camaraderie among its members. This photograph captures a moment of celebration and recognition, as Edgar Percival is welcomed by the Society's President and Mrs. Jones, surrounded by the marvels of aviation that he helped bring to life.
