EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Daring Voyage: Miss Delphine Reynolds and W.G. Pudney's Historic Flight to Cape Juby Landing Ground, 1931". This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the moment of arrival at Cape Juby landing ground in the Spanish Sahara, marking the end of an epic journey for British aviators Miss Delphine Reynolds and her pilot, W.G. Pudney. Departing from Hanworth in England on 1 March 1931, they embarked on a daring survey flight down the West African coast in their Blackburn Bluebird IV, registration number G-ABGF. Their mission was to assess the potential for establishing a transport route between Europe and British colonies in West Africa. Their route took them via Tangier, Morocco, to Bathurst, Gambia, where they had to fit Short floats to their aircraft due to the lack of a suitable runway. After two and a half months in Sierra Leone, the metal airframe of the Bluebird IV had corroded beyond repair, forcing the intrepid explorers to make an unscheduled landing at Cape Juby. Despite the challenges they faced, Miss Reynolds and Mr. Pudney's determination and skill saw them complete the majority of their survey mission, providing invaluable data for the development of air transport infrastructure in West Africa. This photograph stands as a testament to their courage and the spirit of adventure that drove them on their historic journey.
