EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, the Breguet 280T F-AIXV (msn 3) of Air Union is seen gracefully parked at Croydon Airport in the early 1930s. The Breguet 280T was a versatile aircraft, used primarily for transport and reconnaissance purposes during this era. At the time, Air Union was a major French aviation company that operated a fleet of these aircraft. Circa 1932, Air Union's operations were merged with Air France, leading to the absorption of the remaining Breguet 280Ts in their fleet. However, it is unclear if these aircraft continued to fly to Croydon Airport under the Air France banner. The Breguet 280T was a significant aircraft in the history of aviation, with its sleek design and advanced features making it a popular choice for both military and civilian applications. Its distinctive shape and elegant lines are on full display in this photograph, which captures a moment in time when the world of aviation was on the cusp of great change. The 1930s were an exciting time for aviation, as new technologies and innovations were transforming the way people traveled and transported goods. The Breguet 280T was a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of the aviation industry during this period, and its presence at Croydon Airport is a reminder of the rich history of flight. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the skies were filled with the sound of propellers and the thrill of exploration. It is a reminder of the importance of aviation in shaping our world, and the enduring allure of the open sky.
