EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in aviation history at Croydon Aerodrome. Standing proudly beside her pilot, Captain Drew, is Mrs Spencer Cleaver, ready to embark on an extraordinary journey to India and back. The duo's aircraft of choice for this daring adventure is the iconic Gypsy Moth named "Will O The Wisp". Taken on 7 March 1929, this photograph encapsulates the spirit of exploration and adventure that defined the roaring twenties. It serves as a testament to the courage and determination of individuals who pushed boundaries in the early days of aviation. The monochrome composition adds a timeless quality to the image, transporting us back to an era between two world wars when aviation was still in its infancy.
