EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, Major H.G. Brackley is seen receiving the logbooks of the de Havilland DH84 Dragon aircraft, G-ACPX, from the hands of Hugh Blackman in May 1934. The scene takes place in the hangar of an airfield, with the open doors revealing a line of biplanes and monoplanes parked outside, their wings reflecting the sunlight. Major Brackley, a distinguished military aviator, wears his uniform with pride as he accepts the logbooks from Mr. Blackman, who is dressed in a smart suit and holding the leather-bound volumes with a sense of importance. The DH84 Dragon, a versatile transport aircraft, is visible in the background, its silver fuselage gleaming in the light. The DH84 Dragon, also known as the "Gypsy Moth of the Sky," was a popular aircraft in the 1930s, renowned for its reliability and ease of handling. This particular aircraft, G-ACPX, was one of the first to be produced and was an important part of de Havilland's fleet. The logbooks, which record the aircraft's maintenance history and flight records, are a valuable asset for any pilot or aircraft owner. In this moment, Major Brackley is taking possession of this crucial information, ensuring that he is fully informed about the aircraft's past and current condition. The photograph captures a sense of history in the making, with the exchange of the logbooks marking the beginning of Major Brackley's tenure with the DH84 Dragon. The image is a testament to the importance of record-keeping in aviation and the role it plays in ensuring the safety and reliability of aircraft. Overall, this photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of aviation in the 1930s and the importance of logbooks in maintaining the safety and reliability of aircraft.
