EDITORS COMMENTS
"Step back in time with this image of Imperial Airways' biplane making its grand arrival at Croydon Aerodrome in Surrey during the 1930s. The roaring engines of this historic aircraft, adorned with the distinctive Imperial Airways insignia, pierce the calm air as it taxis towards the terminal building. The propeller blades cast long shadows on the tarmac, while a crowd of onlookers gathers to witness the spectacle. The scene is set against the backdrop of Croydon Aerodrome, an iconic landmark of aviation history. With its impressive Art Deco architecture and state-of-the-art facilities, Croydon Aerodrome was a hub for international air travel during the interwar period. This photograph, taken in the 1930s, captures the excitement and glamour of air travel in its infancy. The biplane, with its open cockpit and rudimentary cabin, offers a stark contrast to the modern aircraft of today. Yet, the sense of adventure and the thrill of exploration are just as palpable. The people in this photograph, dressed in their finest attire, add to the sense of occasion. Their expressions of awe and wonder reflect the fascination that the early aviators and their machines held for the public. This postcard-perfect image, reminiscent of a Photochrom print, is a testament to the rich history of aviation and the enduring allure of flight. Transport yourself back to a time when the skies were a new frontier and the world seemed just a little closer." Terry Parker's photograph of Imperial Airways arriving from France at Croydon Aerodrome in Surrey, 1930s, is a captivating glimpse into the past. The biplane, with its open cockpit and propeller, stands in stark contrast to modern aircraft, yet the excitement and allure of flight remain as strong as ever. This photograph, with its Art Deco terminal building and crowd of onlookers, is a testament to the rich history of aviation and the enduring fascination with the skies.
