This print captures a momentous journey back in 1926, as passengers board an Imperial Airways air-liner at Croydon with Paris as their destination. The image exudes a sense of excitement and adventure, showcasing the early days of air travel when flying was still a novelty for many.
The sleek design of the aircraft hints at the technological advancements of the time, while the bustling activity on board reflects the anticipation felt by those about to embark on this historic flight. As passengers settle into their seats, one can only imagine the thrill they must have experienced knowing they were about to soar through the skies towards one of Europe's most iconic cities.
