EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from The Northcliffe Collection, we witness the extraordinary Rory Underwood, a renowned England rugby player and skilled RAF pilot, taking flight in an iconic piece of history. Captured in 1989, Underwood fearlessly assumes control of the only operational replica of Leonardo Da Vinci's legendary flying machine. As he soars through the skies with grace and determination, Underwood embodies the spirit of adventure and courage that defines both his sporting career and military service. With his athletic prowess honed on the rugby field seamlessly translating into piloting skills, it is no wonder that he effortlessly commands this magnificent contraption. The vintage aesthetic of this image adds to its allure, transporting us back to a time when innovation was met with awe-inspiring curiosity. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity throughout centuries - from Da Vinci's visionary designs to modern-day aviators like Underwood who bring them to life. This photograph not only captures a remarkable moment but also symbolizes the indomitable spirit shared by athletes and pilots alike. It reminds us that dreams can be realized through unwavering dedication and unyielding passion for one's craft. Steve Douglass' masterful composition ensures every detail is vividly preserved within this timeless snapshot. As we gaze upon it, we are reminded of our own potential for greatness if only we dare to spread our wings and take flight towards our aspirations.
