EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, The Hon. Esmond Harmsworth, the esteemed son of Lord Rothermere, proudly presents aviation pioneer Amy Johnson with a cheque for 10,000 British pounds and a golden cup on behalf of the youth of Great Britain. The momentous occasion took place during a luncheon held in Johnson's honor at the renowned Savoy Hotel on August 7, 1930. Amy Johnson, a trailblazing British aviator, had recently set a new record for the fastest solo flight from England to Australia. Her groundbreaking achievement captured the hearts and minds of the British public, earning her widespread acclaim and recognition. The Hon.
