EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of intense focus and determination on the faces of John Lampert (age 33) and his wife Sylvia (age 31), as they carry out pre-flight checks on John's extraordinary invention, a man-powered flexible membrane variable geometry ornithopter, at Bishops Rise in Hatfield, UK, in 1975. The image transports us back in time to an era of aviation innovation and experimentation. Ornithopters, also known as flapping-wing aircraft, are designed to mimic the flight of birds by flapping their wings. John's creation, with its unusual and intricate design, represents a unique approach to aviation technology. The exterior of the aircraft is a marvel of engineering, with its flexible membrane wings that are reminiscent of a bird's own wings. John and Sylvia's dedication to their project is evident as they meticulously examine every detail of their creation, ensuring that it is ready for flight. Their attire, consisting of practical jumpsuits and protective goggles, adds to the sense of adventure and excitement. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of aviation history, showcasing the passion and ingenuity of two individuals who dared to push the boundaries of what was possible in the field of flight. The image is a testament to the spirit of innovation and the human drive to explore and conquer the skies.
