EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vintage photo print, we are transported back to the year 1933, witnessing a momentous occasion at Kings Cross station. The image showcases Captain G. De Haviland, triumphant winners of the prestigious Kings Cup Air Race that year, as they bid farewell to the iconic "Flying Scotsman" train on its inaugural non-stop journey from London to Edinburgh. The atmosphere is electric with anticipation and excitement as passengers eagerly board the legendary locomotive. The scene is filled with a sense of adventure and progress, capturing the spirit of an era caught between two world wars. This remarkable photograph, preserved in the archives of TopFoto's Between The Wars collection, offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when aviation was rapidly evolving alongside traditional modes of transportation. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit for faster and more efficient means of travel.
