EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken by renowned artist Bill Brunell, transports us back to the bustling Croydon Aerodrome on 25th April 1931. The focal point of the image is the majestic Handley Page W10 aircraft with registration number G-EBMM, standing proudly on the rain-soaked tarmac. Its sleek design epitomizes the golden age of aviation in Britain during the 1930s. Surrounding this iconic airliner are a myriad of unidentified aircraft, one possibly bearing registration number F-ALC. These planes add an air of mystery and intrigue to an already mesmerizing scene. It was at this very location that the Riley M. C. Rally took place, attracting aviation enthusiasts from far and wide. The atmosphere captured in this photograph is electric; you can almost feel the anticipation and excitement emanating from both pilots and spectators alike. Despite being monochrome, every detail stands out vividly against a backdrop of dark clouds overhead. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to not only British engineering prowess but also to our enduring fascination with flight and transport throughout history. Preserved within Heritage Images' collection at National Motor Museum, it offers a glimpse into a bygone era where innovation soared above all else.
