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.

The original caption mentions that aerial travel between London and Paris got a boost from a general strike in England at this time. This Goliath served from 1922 until 1928, originally with the Messageries Aériennes company. On the right is a Danish Farman Jabiru, T-DOXB.

The Vellox airliner was developed from the Vickers Vellore, a cargo and mail aircraft which in its original form was single-engined. Comfortable accomodation for ten passengers was provided but Imperial Airways only used the sole Vellox as a nocturnal mailplane while testing Lorenz blind landing equipment. It crashed after a few months in service in August 1936. Four-blade propellers are fitted here.

First flown on 18 July 1936, this was the sole Ju 52 owned by DDL before WWII. The forward fuselage was painted red. After the outbreak of the war, 'Denmark' was painted on the roof, with Danish flags on wings and tail surfaces. DDL was allowed to carry on flying under the German occupation of Denmark. Selandia crashed near Vienna - Aspern on 18 December 1942.

The Avro 652 was the precursor of the Anson. Only two examples were built. Imperial Airways used them mostly to fly express mail to their seaplane station in Brindisi, until the Empire flying boats entered service. They were then sold to Air Service Training Ltd and impressed in 1941, G-ACRN becoming DG656. Photo from: Nationaal Archief (Netherlands)

'First regular airmail service to Australia'. Imperial Airways schedules were always complicated - the HP.45 flew to Karachi and an AW.15 Atalanta continued to Darwin. As there was too much demand for the inaugural flight, the public were fooled: Hengist actually carried mail for India while letters for Australia had been dispatched via the old route to Karachi which involved a train between Paris and Brindisi. Even when transported entirely by air, the mail still took almost two weeks from London to Sydney.

Incorporating Wibault construction techniques, the Viastra twelve-passenger airliner first flew in 1930. A small number were built, with one, two or three engines. The single Viastra X with two Pegasus radials and a seven-seat interior was built for the Prince of Wales. Still unpainted here, it was later red and gold. Replaced by the red and blue Dragon Rapide G-ADDD, G-ACCC ended up with the RAF as L6102 and was broken up in 1937. Also reported as c/n 1. Photo from: Dan Shumaker collection
