EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the bustling activity at the Control Tower and Customs Office of Croydon Aerodrome in Surrey, dating back to 1922. The image transports us back to the golden age of aviation in the 1920s, a time when air travel was still a novelty and luxury reserved for the elite.
The imposing Control Tower stands tall against the backdrop of clear skies, overseeing all incoming and outgoing flights with precision and efficiency. Meanwhile, the Customs Office is abuzz with activity as officials inspect luggage and cargo before passengers embark on their journeys.
Croydon Aerodrome was a hub of international air travel during this era, serving as a gateway between Britain and continental Europe. The Continental Airport designation highlights its importance as a key link in connecting travelers across borders.
Photographer Terry Parker has captured this scene with remarkable clarity and detail, allowing us to glimpse into a bygone era where air travel was an adventure filled with excitement and wonder. This real postcard from 1922 serves as a tangible reminder of how far we have come in terms of technological advancements in aviation.
Overall, this print is not just a historical artifact but also a testament to human ingenuity and our endless quest for exploration beyond boundaries.
