EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by the renowned Illustrated London News Ltd in 1936, showcases the improved Gatwick Airport at the moment of its official opening. The airport, which had undergone significant transformation since its inception as an aerodrome in the late 1920s, now boasted a modern and impressive design. The Martello tower-style terminal building, with its distinctive, angular lines and expansive terrace, stood proudly at the heart of the airport. This innovative architecture enabled Gatwick to accommodate and service up to six large airplanes simultaneously, a remarkable feat for the time. The airport's advanced facilities included a control tower, a concourse, and telescopic gangways that connected the terminal to the aircraft, streamlining the boarding process. The transport infrastructure was equally impressive, with a well-designed network of roads and railways ensuring seamless connections to London and beyond. The 1930s were an era of great innovation in aviation, and Gatwick Airport was at the forefront of this technological advancement. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the airport's sleek design and the excitement of air travel during this bygone era.
