EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Dr. Kenneth Graham Wilkinson CEng FRAeS (1917-1998), a renowned aerospace engineer and former President of the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS) from 1972 to 1973. Born in 1917, Wilkinson made significant contributions to the field of aviation, most notably during his tenure as Managing Director of Rolls-Royce and former Chief Engineer of British European Airways (BEA). In this image, Wilkinson is seen in a thoughtful pose, deep in concentration as he studies the intricacies of an aeroplane engine. The serious expression on his face and the intense focus in his eyes speak to his dedication and commitment to advancing aviation technology. The engine, a symbol of the complex machinery that powered the planes of the time, serves as a reminder of the engineering marvels that Wilkinson and his colleagues at Rolls-Royce and BEA were responsible for creating. Wilkinson's presidency of the RAeS was a testament to his leadership and expertise in the field. Under his guidance, the society continued to promote and advance the science and practice of aeronautics and astronautics. His legacy as an engineer and leader in the aviation industry endures to this day, inspiring new generations of engineers and innovators to push the boundaries of what is possible in the realm of flight. This photograph offers a glimpse into the life of a man who dedicated his career to the pursuit of knowledge and innovation in the field of aviation engineering. Wilkinson's legacy continues to shape the industry, and his contributions to the world of aeroplane design and engineering will be remembered for generations to come.
