The last month of peace. Photo almost certainly taken on 2 August 1939 when Lufthansa introduced the Ju 90 on the Berlin - Amsterdam - London route, and some Dutch journalists were given a ride from Schiphol to Croydon and back. On 10 August Mecklenburg violated British airspace restrictions and overflew RAF Manston. By the end of the month regular Lufthansa flights to London had ceased.
