EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grace and elegance of a de Havilland DH.86b Express, registration number G-AEJM (msn 2351), as it approaches the runway at Croydon Airport in the late 1930s. The DH.86b Express, a versatile and popular aircraft of its time, was first registered to Wrightways Ltd. on July 6, 1936. However, its history took an unexpected turn when it was impressed into the Royal Air Force (RAF) as X9441 on April 4, 1940. Tragically, the aircraft met its end on February 17, 1942, following an engine fire at RAF Hendon. The DH.86b Express was a significant aircraft in its era, often used for transport and training purposes. Its sleek design and powerful engine made it a favorite among pilots and passengers alike. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when air travel was a thrilling and transformative experience. The image is a testament to the rich aviation history of Croydon Airport, which played a pivotal role in the development of British aviation during the interwar period. The photograph's timeless quality and the aircraft's enduring appeal make it a must-have for any aviation enthusiast or history buff's collection.
