EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, E.C. "Betty" Pike (standing right) and E.M.J. Schaffter (standing left) are seen in the tranquil setting of the Library of the Royal Aeronautical Society at No.4 Hamilton Place. The year is believed to be 1978, and the occasion is likely Betty Pike's retirement lunch, marking the end of her over 24-year tenure with The Aeronautical Quarterly, during which she rose to the position of Editor. The image exudes an air of nostalgia and accomplishment. Betty Pike, with her warm smile and confident posture, embodies the spirit of dedication and passion for aviation that defined her long career. Her counterpart, E.M.J. Schaffter, then Secretary of the Royal Aeronautical Society from 1973 to 1983, looks on with a proud and approving expression. The backdrop of the library, filled with books and historical artifacts, underscores the rich heritage of aeronautical knowledge and innovation. The presence of planes, planes, aircraft, aeroplanes, and airplanes depicted in the artwork on the walls serves as a testament to the Society's commitment to the advancement of aeronautics and flight. This photograph captures a poignant moment in the history of the Royal Aeronautical Society, as one of its most dedicated members, E.C. "Betty" Pike, bids farewell to her colleagues and embarks on a new chapter in her life. The image is a reminder of the significant contributions she made to the field of aeronautical publishing and the enduring impact of her work on the aviation community.
