Bluebird at Cape St Mary (Bathurst), 1931: A Historic Moment in Aviation History This photograph captures the moment when Miss Delphine Reynolds and her fearless pilot, W.G. Pudney, touched down at Cape St Mary (Bathurst), Gambia, on 1 March 1931. They had embarked on an ambitious survey flight from Hanworth, England, in the Blackburn Bluebird IV, registration number G-ABGF. Their destination was the West African coast, with plans to travel via Tangier to Bathurst. The Blackburn Bluebird IV was a remarkable aircraft for its time, designed for long-range transport and survey missions. Miss Reynolds, an intrepid explorer and pioneering aviator, and Mr. Pudney, an experienced pilot, were determined to push the boundaries of aviation and contribute to the scientific knowledge of the West African region. After an arduous two-and-a-half month journey, the metal airframe of the Bluebird IV had succumbed to the harsh conditions of the African climate. The corrosion was beyond repair, forcing the intrepid duo to abandon their aircraft at Cape St Mary. Despite this setback, their spirit remained unbroken, and they continued their mission on foot, documenting their findings and sharing their experiences with the world. This photograph serves as a testament to the indomitable human spirit and the pioneering achievements of early aviation. Miss Reynolds and Mr. Pudney's courageous journey opened the door for further exploration and advancements in aviation technology, paving the way for future expeditions and discoveries.
