EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the sleek lines and elegant design of the de Havilland DH86B, G-ADUE, affectionately known as Dardanus, as it taxis at Croydon Airport in the late 1930s. Part of the prestigious Imperial Airways fleet, Dardanus was a de Havilland Dragon Rapide, a twin-engine, eight-seat aircraft that was a popular choice for both private and commercial aviation. The Dragon Rapide was known for its advanced features, including retractable landing gear and a pressurized cabin, which made for a more comfortable and efficient flying experience. Dardanus, in particular, was notable for its distinctive livery, featuring the Imperial Airways logo and the bold red and blue stripes that adorned its fuselage. In this image, we see Dardanus taxing on the tarmac, its engines idling as it prepares for takeoff. The crew members, dressed in their smart uniforms, can be seen working around the aircraft, ensuring that all systems are functioning properly before departure. The scene is bustling with activity, with other aircraft and ground crew visible in the background, adding to the sense of energy and excitement that surrounded aviation in the golden age of flight. This photograph is a testament to the beauty and sophistication of aviation technology during this era, as well as the dedication and skill of the pilots and ground crew who made air travel possible. It is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into a time when air travel was a truly magical experience.
