Landing Mishap Panther Parnall 1925
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of impact as Fleet Air Arm pilot Lt. C.W. "Bunny" Sansom's Parnall Panther N7535 comes to a halt on the shoreline after an unfortunate landing incident, circa 1925. The Parnall Panther was a two-seat biplane torpedo bomber, designed and built by the Parnall Aviation Company in the United Kingdom. It was a significant aircraft in the early history of the Royal Naval Air Service and the Royal Air Force, serving in both the First World War and the inter-war period. The photograph shows the Panther's distinctive biplane configuration, with its large wings and robust construction, well-suited to its role as a maritime bomber. The landing gear, which appears to have collapsed during the landing, is visible in the foreground, as is the pilot's determined expression as he assesses the damage. The shoreline and the waves in the background add to the sense of drama and the challenging conditions faced by early aviators. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the courage and skill required of pilots during this era of aviation history. Despite the risks, these pioneering aviators pushed the boundaries of flight and paved the way for the advanced aircraft and technologies that would follow. The Fleet Air Arm, which was established in 1937, continues to play a vital role in the defense of the United Kingdom and its interests around the world.
