EDITORS COMMENTS
This fascinating print captures a unique moment in aviation history at Croydon Airport in 1926. In this image, passengers are seen stepping onto a large scale to be weighed before boarding their flight. This practice was common during the early days of air travel as aircrafts had strict weight limits for safety reasons.
The scene is bustling with activity as travelers line up to have their weight recorded, ensuring that the plane would not exceed its maximum capacity. The vintage aircraft in the background adds to the nostalgic charm of this historical snapshot.
Croydon Airport holds a special place in aviation history as one of the world's first international airports and played a crucial role in pioneering commercial air travel. It served as a hub for flights between London and continental Europe, making it an important transport hub during this era.
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library offers a glimpse into the past, capturing a moment when air travel was still relatively new and exciting. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of technology and safety standards within the aviation industry.
Overall, this image is not just a visual record of passengers being weighed before their flight but also symbolizes the spirit of adventure and innovation that characterized early aviation.
