EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the archives, a trio of iconic aircraft grace the tarmac at the Fairey Aviation Aerodrome during the 1936 Royal Aeronautical Society Garden Party. The image, captured on a sunny day in Middlesex, England, features a General Aircraft Monospar, a Douglas DC-2-115E, and a de Havilland DH86. The General Aircraft Monospar, with its sleek, modern design, is positioned at the far left of the photograph. This British-built aircraft, a popular choice for both civilian and military use, boasts a cantilever monocoque wing structure that eliminated the need for external bracing struts. Next to the Monospar stands the Douglas DC-2-115E, an American-designed airliner that revolutionized air travel in the 1930s. With its twin engines and spacious cabin, the DC-2 set new standards for passenger comfort and efficiency. Jan van Dent, an employee of KLM, is seen admiring the aircraft, adding a human touch to the scene. Rounding out the trio is the de Havilland DH86, a versatile biplane that was also popular among both private and commercial aviators. Its open cockpit and streamlined design give it an unmistakable, timeless appeal. The 1936 Royal Aeronautical Society Garden Party provided an opportunity for aviation enthusiasts to come together and celebrate the latest advancements in aviation technology. This photograph captures a moment in time when the future of flight was being shaped by innovative designs and the dreams of pioneering aviators.
