EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we witness the elegant Fokker F.IX PH-AGA, also known as Adelaar, gracefully approaching Croydon Airport for a landing. This historic moment is believed to have taken place in the early 1930s, as PH-AGA was sold to France on September 26, 1936, under the registration F-APFA. The Fokker F.IX, manufactured by the Dutch aircraft company Fokker, was a popular and advanced aircraft during the interwar period. Adelaar, with its registration number msn 5106, was a proud addition to the Dutch flag carrier, KLM's fleet. The photograph captures the essence of aviation in the 1930s, a time of innovation and excitement in the world of flight. The Fokker F.IX, with its sleek design and powerful engine, embodies the spirit of progress and adventure that characterized the era. As PH-AGA glides towards the runway, the viewer is transported back in time, imagining the anticipation and wonder that must have accompanied the arrival of such a magnificent aircraft at Croydon Airport. The photograph is a testament to the rich history of aviation and the enduring allure of flight. This image, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, provides a unique glimpse into the past, offering a fascinating insight into the world of aviation during the 1930s. The photograph is not only a valuable historical document but also a beautiful work of art, capturing the timeless beauty and elegance of a bygone era.
