EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the moment the Flatavan (Super Caravan) of Melville Hart & Co. of St. Stephens House, Westminster departs from Buckingham Palace in London, circa 1926. Flatavans were a luxurious innovation in transportation during the 1920s, providing sleeping and dining facilities for sixteen persons in a superbly designed and lavishly appointed space. The Flatavan in this image had recently undergone an official inspection by Their Majesties, King George V and Queen Mary on May 19, 1926. The Flatavan, a type of caravan manufactured by Thornycroft and Wheeler, showcases the elegance and sophistication of the era. Its interiors boasted comfortable seating, fine linens, and elegant table settings, making it an ideal mode of transport for important figures and royalty. The Flatavan's departure from Buckingham Palace marks the beginning of another journey filled with comfort and style, further emphasizing the convenience and luxury that these vehicles offered during the early 20th century.
