EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the golden age of aviation, specifically to the cabin of a De Havilland DH86B biplane in the 1930s. Stepping inside this luxurious aircraft, we are greeted by a sight that exudes elegance and comfort. The ten seats upholstered in rich blue leather invite passengers to settle in for their journey. Attention to detail is evident as each seat is equipped with adjustable ventilation, ensuring optimal comfort for every traveler. Safety regulations were also adhered to diligently, with lap belts and life jackets provided for each passenger. Above the cabin door, a circular skylight allows natural light to flood into the space, creating an airy atmosphere amidst the clouds. This feature adds a touch of whimsy and reminds us of the wonders of flight during this era. The De Havilland DH86 Express airliner was not only utilized by Imperial Airways and Qantas but also served both military forces - RAF and Royal Australian Air Force. Its versatility made it an iconic symbol of British aviation history. As we gaze at this remarkable image captured by Clarence Winchester, we can't help but be transported back in time. It serves as a reminder of how far air travel has come since then while evoking nostalgia for an era when flying was truly an extraordinary experience.
