EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in January 1927, captures a moment in aviation history as the de Havilland DH66 G-EBMX, affectionately named "City of Delhi," taxis at Delhi Airfield. The esteemed group of individuals gathered around the aircraft include Sir Geoffrey Salmond, AVM (Air Vice-Marshal) and future Chief of the Air Staff, Wolley Dod, The Lady Maud Hoare, Sir Samuel Hoare, George Woods Humphrey, and F. Mayer. The City of Delhi was a significant addition to the Imperial Airways fleet, which was then in its infancy. The DH66 was a twin-engine biplane designed by de Havilland, known for its advanced features and impressive capabilities. This particular aircraft was the first de Havilland DH66 to be delivered to Imperial Airways and was used on the prestigious London to Delhi route. The photograph offers a glimpse into the early days of air travel, showcasing the excitement and glamour that surrounded the industry. The elegant attire of the passengers and the smart uniforms of the crew reflect the sophistication and grandeur of the era. The City of Delhi, with its sleek lines and powerful engines, embodies the spirit of innovation and adventure that characterized the early days of aviation. This photograph, published in The Aeroplane on 9 February 1927, offers a fascinating insight into the past and serves as a reminder of the remarkable progress that has been made in aviation technology over the past century.
