EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from The Northcliffe Collection, we are transported back to the roaring twenties, a time of nostalgia and historic feats. Aviator Alan Cobham stands tall beside his magnificent De Havilland DH 50 aircraft at Croydon Aerodrome, surrounded by an exuberant crowd. The image captures the essence of a bygone era when planes were still a marvel of engineering and flying was reserved for the brave few. Cobham's daring flight from Cape Town in 1926 has made him a legend in aviation history, and here he is celebrated as such. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost hear the cheers echoing through the air. The onlookers' faces reveal awe and admiration for both man and machine. It is evident that Cobham's achievement has captivated their hearts. The vintage charm emanating from this photograph evokes a sense of wonderment about what life must have been like during those pioneering days of flight. It serves as a reminder that progress often comes with great courage and determination. This image transports us back to an era where dreams took flight amidst clouds of uncertainty. It invites us to reflect on our own aspirations while paying homage to those who paved the way for modern aviation.
