This striking photograph captures H.E. Wimperis, CB, CBE, MA, MIEE, FRAeS, in his role as President of the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS) from 1936 to 1938. Wimperis, a distinguished figure in the field of aeronautical engineering, is seen here in a thoughtful and contemplative pose, surrounded by the sleek lines and innovative designs of various aeroplanes and planes that were shaping the future of air transport during that era. Born in 1881, Wimperis began his career in the engineering department of the Royal Aircraft Factory in Farnborough, England, in 1901. He quickly rose through the ranks, becoming Chief Designer in 1912 and eventually Director in 1923. Wimperis' contributions to aviation were numerous, including the design of several successful military aircraft during World War I and the development of the RAF's first monoplane bomber, the B.E.2c. During his tenure as RAeS President, Wimperis oversaw a period of significant growth and innovation in the field of aviation. He was a strong advocate for the advancement of aviation technology and the importance of research and development in the industry. Wimperis' leadership during this time helped to establish the RAeS as a leading voice in the world of aeronautics and aerospace. The photograph captures a moment in time when the future of air transport was being shaped by visionaries like H.E. Wimperis. The planes and aeroplanes surrounding him represent the cutting edge of technology and design, and serve as a testament to the incredible progress that had been made in aviation during the first half of the 20th century. This image is a powerful reminder of the important role that engineering and innovation play in shaping the world around us.
