EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts the de Havilland DH-86 Express, also known as the 'Delphinus,' parked gracefully at Croydon Airport in London during the 1930s. The image transports us back in time, showcasing the elegance and sophistication of aviation in the interwar period. The DH-86 was a four-engined utility biplane, designed and manufactured by the de Havilland Aircraft Company in the UK. Its distinctive streamlined shape and sleek design set it apart from other aircraft of the era. The airport at Croydon played a significant role in the development of British aviation, serving as a major hub for Imperial Airways, a pioneering British airline. The airport was one of the first to offer regular scheduled flights, connecting London to major European cities. The DH-86 Express was a popular choice for private and business travel, offering a level of comfort and luxury unmatched by other modes of transport at the time. Powered by piston engines, the DH-86 was capable of carrying up to 12 passengers and had a maximum speed of 135 mph. Its spacious cabin, modern amenities, and efficient engines made it a preferred choice for those seeking to travel in style and comfort. The photograph captures the aircraft's timeless beauty, with its gleaming metal finish and elegant lines, as it sits serenely on the tarmac, ready for its next journey. This photograph is a testament to the golden age of aviation, a time when travel was an adventure and the skies were a frontier waiting to be explored. It is a reminder of the ingenuity and innovation that drove the development of aviation technology and the enduring allure of flight.
