EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Armstrong Whitworth Argosy at Croydon Aerodrome on a rainy day, precisely on 25 April 1931. The talented artist behind this masterpiece is Bill Brunell, who skillfully depicts the iconic aircraft in all its glory. Registered under G-aEJ, this particular A. W. Argosy stands proudly amidst the bustling atmosphere of Croydon Airport during the Riley M. C. Rally. The image transports us back to a significant era in aviation history - the 1930s - when air travel was rapidly gaining popularity as a mode of transportation. The monochrome composition adds an element of nostalgia and timelessness to the scene, highlighting both the technological advancements and artistic prowess of that period. Croydon Airport, located in London, England, serves as an ideal backdrop for this snapshot from yesteryears. The tarmac glistens with rainwater while people go about their business around the aircraft; it's a vivid representation of early air transport infrastructure. Preserved by the National Motor Museum for posterity, this photograph not only showcases British engineering excellence but also pays tribute to W. J. Brunell's talent as an artist capturing moments frozen in time. It evokes a sense of wonderment and curiosity about our past and how far we have come since then.
