EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in aviation history at Croydon Aerodrome. Standing proudly beside her pilot, Captain Drew, is Mrs Spencer Cleaver, ready to embark on an extraordinary journey to India and back. The duo's aircraft of choice for this daring adventure is the iconic Gypsy Moth named "Will O The Wisp". Taken on 7 March 1929, this photograph encapsulates the spirit of exploration and adventure that defined the roaring twenties. It serves as a testament to the courage and determination of individuals who pushed boundaries in the early days of aviation. The monochrome composition adds a timeless quality to the image, transporting us back to an era between two world wars when aviation was still in its infancy. Mrs Spencer Cleaver radiates confidence and excitement while Captain Drew exudes professionalism as they prepare for their epic flight. Alfieri's skillful photography not only captures personalities but also showcases the magnificent aircraft that played a pivotal role in shaping our modern world. This snapshot from TopFoto's collection offers a glimpse into an era where flying across continents was both awe-inspiring and groundbreaking. As we admire this remarkable piece of history frozen in time, let us celebrate these pioneers who dared to dream big and paved the way for future generations of aviators.
