EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the winter of 1928, when Imperial Airways launched their first ever winter sports service from Croydon to Bale, Switzerland. This historical print captures a group of women eagerly awaiting to board the plane with their ski equipment in tow. The excitement and anticipation is palpable as they stand ready for an adventure in the snowy Swiss Alps.
The image transports us to a bygone era when air travel was still a novelty and reserved for only the most adventurous souls. The sleek design of the plane and the stylish attire of the women evoke a sense of glamour and sophistication that defined this golden age of aviation.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we can't help but marvel at how far we've come since those early days of air travel. Today, flying to Switzerland for winter sports is just another item on our bucket list, easily accessible with modern commercial airlines. But back then, it was a daring escapade that required courage and determination.
So let's take a moment to appreciate these trailblazing women who paved the way for generations of travelers to come. Their spirit of adventure lives on in all of us who continue to seek out new experiences and push boundaries. And perhaps, as we embark on our own journeys, we can remember those brave pioneers who first took flight into the unknown skies above Switzerland.
