EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early days of aviation, capturing a moment in history when the Airco DH-4 aircraft operated a pioneering service from London's Croydon Airport to Paris. The year was 1920, and this particular flight was part of Instone & Co. 's ambitious venture into the world of air travel. Instone & Co. , originally a shipping company based in Cardiff, had expanded their operations to include an air service connecting Cardiff, London, and Paris. In April 1920, they transformed their London to Paris segment into a public service under the name Instone Air Line. This photograph serves as a testament to their vision and determination. The image showcases not only the magnificent biplane itself but also offers glimpses of ground crew members bustling around it. These unsung heroes played an essential role in ensuring safe take-offs and landings for these early aviators. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let us appreciate the courage and innovation that propelled humanity forward during this era. It reminds us how far we have come since then while honoring those who paved the way for modern air travel. This Memory Lane Print encapsulates both our fascination with aviation history and our appreciation for those who dared to dream beyond boundaries.
