EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the excitement and glamour of air travel in the 1930s, as KLM's Fokker F.IX PH-AF touches down at Croydon Airport. The sleek and elegant Fokker F.IX, a popular aircraft of the era, is seen taxing towards the terminal, its wings glinting in the sunlight. A reception committee eagerly awaits the arrival of passengers, their smiles and waves conveying the joy and anticipation of reunions and new beginnings. Dressed in fashionable attire of the time, the committee members are a stark contrast to the rugged terrain and industrial backdrop of the airport. The Fokker F.IX, with its distinctive rounded fuselage and open cockpit, was a symbol of progress and innovation in the field of aviation. This image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to an era when air travel was a thrilling and transformative experience.
