EDITORS COMMENTS
In this aerial photograph, the enchanting Villa Cisrejajajaja in Africa stands proudly amidst the lush greenery, framed by the azure expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. The image, taken in 1931, captures the essence of adventure and exploration as Miss Delphine Reynolds and her fearless pilot, W.G. Pudney, survey the breathtaking landscape from their Blackburn Bluebird IV, registration number G-ABGF. Departing from Hanworth in England on 1 March 1931, the intrepid duo embarked on a daring journey down the West African coast, with Tangier as their first stop. Their mission was to conduct a comprehensive survey, and they carried out this task with unwavering determination and courage. As they continued their journey, they eventually reached Sierra Leone, where they encountered unforeseen challenges. After two and a half months, the metal airframe of the Blackburn Bluebird IV had corroded beyond repair, leaving them stranded. Despite the setback, their spirit remained unbroken. They adapted to their circumstances and fitted Short floats to their aircraft, enabling them to continue their journey. The image of Villa Cisrejajajaja in Africa, captured from the air, serves as a testament to their indomitable spirit and the spirit of adventure that drove them to explore the unknown. This photograph, with its rich history and captivating story, is a reminder of the early days of aviation and the pioneering spirit that drove individuals to push the boundaries of what was possible. The Blackburn Bluebird IV, Miss Reynolds, and Mr. Pudney's incredible journey continues to inspire us today.
