13 centuries of progress. Modern wonder of the 20th century- the Mayo composite
13 centuries of progress.
Modern wonder of the 20th century- the Mayo composite plane Etruscan posit plane, flies over the ancient city of Rochester, its birthplace in the garden of England, Kent.
On left of the picture is Rochester Castle, rebuilt by Gundulf, early Norman Bishop, and the spy on right is that of Rochester Cathedral, which was already for centuries old when the Normans invaded Britain. The cathedral was founded by King Ethelbert in 604 AD.
In background is the River Medway, which has seen these centuries of progress and yet floes placidly on its way to the sea. The Mayo plane took off from the River on her official separation trials and this picture was made just before small aeroplane Mercury was automatically released from the wing of the parent flying boat Maia.
