EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the 1920s, a Vickers Vimy Commercial FB-28, registered to Instone Air Line, taxis towards the Croydon terminal in London, England. The sun casts a golden glow over the twin-engine piston-prop biplane, its wings glistening in the fading light. The aircraft, a relic from the post-World War I era, carries an extraordinary cargo - a bounty of fresh strawberries, recently imported from France. The Vickers Vimy, a versatile aircraft that saw both military and civil uses, was a testament to the rapid advancements in aviation technology during the early 20th century. This particular model, the FB-28, was designed for passenger and cargo transport, showcasing the transition from military to commercial aviation. As the biplane comes to a halt at the terminal, ground crew members scurry around, preparing for the unloading process. The cargo hold, filled to the brim with crates of succulent strawberries, awaits transfer to the awaiting truck. The truck, adorned with the logo of Messrs Crosbies Ltd, is ready to transport the precious cargo to their jam factory. The image captures the essence of the Roaring Twenties, a time of innovation, progress, and the burgeoning aviation industry. The arrival of the Vickers Vimy with its precious cargo of strawberries symbolizes the growing connection between different parts of the world, brought about by the advent of commercial air travel.
