EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR, we are transported back to the year 1935, where aviation and railways converged in a harmonious partnership. The image showcases the magnificent De Havilland 89 Dragon Rapide aircraft, proudly adorned with the name "City of Bristol" as part of the esteemed Railway Air Services fleet. With its sleek design and powerful engines, this iconic aircraft symbolizes an era when air travel was still in its infancy but rapidly gaining popularity. The Dragon Rapide played a crucial role in connecting cities across Great Britain, bridging vast distances with remarkable speed and efficiency. The significance of this particular print lies not only in its historical value but also in what it represents for Bristol - a city that thrived on innovation and progress during those times. As we gaze upon this stunning photograph, our minds wander to an era when dreams took flight and boundaries were shattered. It is important to note that while this photo captures a momentous chapter in transportation history, it does not depict any commercial use. Instead, it serves as a reminder of how railways and aviation worked together seamlessly to revolutionize travel possibilities for people across the nation. This evocative image invites us to reflect on our past achievements while inspiring us to continue pushing boundaries towards new horizons.
