EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of respite for Miss Delphine Reynolds and her brave pilot, W.G. Pudney, as they touched down in Freetown, Sierra Leone, on 1 March 1931. Having embarked on a daring survey flight from Hanworth, England, in the Blackburn Bluebird IV, registration number G-ABGF, they had traveled down the West African coast, making their way via Tangier to Bathurst, Gambia. Upon arrival, they fitted Short floats to their aircraft in order to continue their journey across the water. Their mission was to conduct a comprehensive survey of the region, and the pair had faced numerous challenges throughout their journey. After two and a half arduous months in Sierra Leone, the metal airframe of the Bluebird IV had unfortunately corroded beyond repair, forcing them to abandon their aircraft and make new arrangements for their continued exploration. Despite the setback, the determined duo remained undeterred, their spirit of adventure undiminished. This evocative image serves as a testament to their courage and resilience, as they stood before their beloved Bluebird IV, a symbol of their accomplishments and the memories they had created during their remarkable journey.
