EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Miss Delphine Reynolds and her pilot, W.G. Pudney, prepare for takeoff from Cape Juby Officers Quarters in their Blackburn Bluebird IV aircraft, G-ABGF, on 1 March 1931. The duo embarked on a daring survey flight down the West African coast, starting from Hanworth in England, with the ultimate destination being Bathurst, Gambia. The Blackburn Bluebird IV, a versatile biplane, was a popular choice for long-distance flights and transport missions during the early aviation era. However, the arduous journey ahead would test the limits of the metal airframe. As they made their way southward, the aircraft faced numerous challenges, including extreme weather conditions and the harsh terrain of the African coast. After two and a half months of flying over the unforgiving landscape, the metal airframe had corroded beyond repair, forcing the intrepid explorers to abandon the plane in Sierra Leone. Despite the setback, Miss Reynolds and Mr. Pudney's pioneering spirit did not falter. They continued their mission on foot, documenting their findings and paving the way for future exploration and development in the region. This photograph captures a moment of determination and adventure, as the brave explorers set off on their journey, unaware of the challenges that lay ahead. The Blackburn Bluebird IV, with its distinctive shape and bold colors, stands ready for takeoff, symbolizing the spirit of exploration and innovation that defined the early days of aviation.
