EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the 9th of August, 1934, at Heston aerodrome. The image captures the triumphant arrival of Captain Leonard Reid and M. J Ayling after an extraordinary transatlantic flight from Wasaga, Canada. Standing proudly in front of their remarkable aircraft, The De Havilland Dragon Trail of the Caribou, these daring pilots exude a sense of accomplishment and adventure. The significance of this moment is heightened by the plane's previous owner - none other than Jim Mollison himself. A year earlier, he had embarked on a similar journey with renowned aviator Amy Johnson. Their attempt may not have been successful, but it undoubtedly paved the way for Reid and Ayling's triumph. This photograph encapsulates the spirit of aviation in the 1930s - a time when long-distance flying was still a daring feat that captured public imagination. The sleek lines and powerful engines of the De Havilland Dragon Trail evoke awe and admiration even today. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we cannot help but marvel at these intrepid pioneers who defied all odds to conquer vast distances through sheer determination and skill. It serves as a reminder that human ambition knows no bounds when it comes to exploring new horizons in aviation.
