EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1980, we see Midland Air Museum Chairman Mr John Berkeley carefully inspecting their latest acquisition - a remarkable 33-year-old De Havilland Dove mini-airliner. This unique aircraft, formerly owned by an Indian Maharajah, has found its new home among the other fascinating displays at the museum's compound in Rowley Road, Coventry. The image captures the dedication and passion of Mr Berkeley as he ensures that this eight-seater plane is in pristine condition for all aviation enthusiasts to admire. With his expertise and commitment to preserving historical aircraft, it is evident that he takes great pride in showcasing these treasures to visitors from around the world. As part of a charitable trust, the Midland Air Museum relies on volunteers who generously contribute their time and knowledge to maintain and display these incredible pieces of aviation history. The museum serves as a testament to our fascination with flight and pays homage to the pioneers who have shaped modern air travel. This photograph not only transports us back to the vibrant atmosphere of air shows in the 1980s but also reminds us of how crucial it is to preserve our heritage for future generations. Through images like this one captured by Mirrorpix for Memory Lane Prints, we are reminded of the significant role museums play in educating and inspiring individuals about our rich aviation past.
