EDITORS COMMENTS
A captivating aerial view of Dakar, the vibrant capital city of Senegal, as seen from the cockpit of a Blackburn Bluebird IV aircraft in 1931. This breathtaking image was captured during an exploratory flight led by the intrepid aviator, Miss Delphine Reynolds, and her skilled pilot, W.G. Pudney. Departing from Hanworth in England on 1 March 1931, they embarked on a daring journey down the West African coast, with Tangier as their first stop. Their primary objective was to conduct a comprehensive survey of the region, and they eventually reached Bathurst, the capital of The Gambia, where they fitted Short floats to their aircraft for the next leg of their adventure. Their journey was not without challenges, as the harsh African climate took a toll on their Blackburn Bluebird IV, G-ABGF. After two and a half months in Sierra Leone, the metal airframe had corroded beyond repair. Despite this setback, their courage and determination remained unwavering, leaving a lasting legacy of their pioneering spirit. This aerial photograph offers a unique perspective of Dakar, revealing its stunning coastline, bustling harbor, and the sprawling urban landscape that was still in its infancy during that era. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to witness the beauty and resilience of this remarkable city from an unforgettable vantage point. Miss Reynolds and Mr. Pudney's aerial expedition was a testament to human ingenuity and the spirit of exploration. Their daring flight across the West African coast remains an inspiring tale of adventure, courage, and the indomitable human spirit.
