EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the sleek and elegant De Havilland Express G-ACPL, affectionately named Delphinus, parked at Croydon Airport in 1939. The De Havilland Express was a series of biplane airliners produced by the De Havilland Aircraft Company, which became a popular choice for both private and airline use during the interwar period. The image captures the timeless beauty of this aircraft, with its distinctive rounded fuselage and graceful wings. Delphinus, registered to Imperial Airways, is seen in its pristine condition, adorned with the company's insignia and the Union Jack. The aircraft's engines are visible, hinting at the power and technology that propelled it through the skies. At the time, aviation was a burgeoning industry, and the De Havilland Express represented the pinnacle of innovation and design. The ability to travel by air was a luxury and a marvel, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to an era of elegance and adventure. Croydon Airport, then the largest airport in the world, was a hub for both military and civilian aviation. The airport's iconic control tower can be seen in the background, adding to the sense of history and importance. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of aviation and the role that the De Havilland Express played in shaping the skies above. It is a reminder of the wonder and excitement that came with early aviation, and a reminder of the enduring allure of flight.
