EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the iconic Vickers Vimy G-EASI, affectionately known as "City of London" or "Instone's City of London," as it gracefully touches down at Croydon Airport in 1930s England. The Vickers Vimy, a British biplane designed by Barnes Wallis and Thomas Sopwith, was an advanced aircraft for its time, renowned for its sleek design and impressive performance. The plane, registered to Instone Air Line, was a popular choice for wealthy private aviators due to its speed and elegance. In this image, we see the plane's distinctive round-tipped wings and streamlined fuselage, adorned with the Instone Air Line livery and the City of London crest. The airport's control tower and hangars can be seen in the background, providing a sense of scale and context. Croydon Airport, located south of London, was a hub for aviation activity during the interwar period. It was the site of many record-breaking flights, including the first non-stop transatlantic flight by John Alcock and Arthur Brown in 1919. The airport's proximity to London made it an ideal destination for business and leisure travelers, and the Instone Air Line's Vickers Vimy was a favorite among them. This photograph is a testament to the golden age of aviation, a time when flying was an exciting and luxurious experience. The Vickers Vimy G-EASI, with its elegant design and prestigious lineage, embodies the spirit of adventure and innovation that defined the era.
