Repairing Bluebird at Bathurst: A Snapshot of Aviation History in 1931 This evocative photograph captures the moment of respite during an arduous journey, as Miss Delphine Reynolds and her pilot, W.G. Pudney, tend to their ailing aircraft, the Blackburn Bluebird IV, G-ABGF, in Bathurst, Gambia, in March 1931. The intrepid duo had embarked on a survey flight from Hanworth, England, with the aim of traversing the West African coast. Their destination was Tangier, Morocco, but their plans were soon disrupted when they arrived in Sierra Leone and discovered that the metal airframe of the Bluebird IV had corroded beyond repair. In this image, we see Miss Reynolds and Mr. Pudney, undeterred by the setback, working diligently to mend their beloved aircraft. The Short floats, which would eventually save their journey, are visible in the background, a testament to the resourcefulness and determination of these early aviators. The Blackburn Bluebird IV, a single-engine biplane, was a versatile transport aircraft of its time, capable of both land and water takeoffs and landings. Its distinctive design, with its sleek lines and robust construction, is a testament to the ingenuity of the aviation industry in the early 20th century. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, a time when aviation was still a new and daring endeavor, and the spirit of adventure and exploration knew no bounds. Despite the challenges they faced, Miss Reynolds and Mr. Pudney persevered, demonstrating the indomitable human spirit and the power of innovation to overcome even the most daunting obstacles.
