EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken at Croydon Airport in London on July 10, 1929, documents the historic moment when the intrepid aviators, Captain Charles Kingsford-Smith and his crew, posed triumphantly before their Fokker F.VIIb-3M aircraft, named "Southern Cross," after completing a groundbreaking 13.5-day flight from Australia to England. The image exudes an air of excitement and accomplishment, as the jubilant team proudly displays their achievement, surrounded by a crowd of curious onlookers. The Fokker F.VIIb-3M, a trimotor monoplane with a T-tail and piston-propelled engines, was a marvel of aviation technology during that era. The aircraft, which bears the registration number VH-USU, had already made history as the plane used by Kingsford-Smith and his team to complete the first trans-Pacific flight from the United States to Australia in 1928. In this photograph, the crew members, dressed in their flying suits and hats, are seen smoking cigarettes, seemingly unfazed by the long journey they had just completed. The team's leader, Captain Kingsford-Smith, holds aloft a trophy, symbolizing their victory in this remarkable feat of aviation. The image stands as a testament to the spirit of adventure and innovation that characterized the early days of aviation, and serves as a reminder of the incredible journeys that have shaped the history of flight. This photograph is a valuable historical record and a captivating glimpse into the past, showcasing the courage and determination of those who dared to take to the skies and push the boundaries of human exploration.
