EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the golden age of aviation in the 1930s. The image showcases the remarkable aerial equipment on board the Imperial Airways liner Hengist, a true testament to British innovation and technological advancement. At the center of attention is a round aerial, an integral part of the homing radio system, which was one of the first directional finding systems ever developed. This groundbreaking technology allowed pilots to navigate with greater precision and marked a significant milestone in aviation history. The aircraft itself, a Handley Page HP 42, stands as an iconic symbol of British engineering excellence. With its sleek design and powerful engines, it represented cutting-edge air transport at that time. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece captured by Marconis Wireless Telegraph Co Ltd. , we are transported back to an era where flight was still considered a marvel. The image evokes feelings of wonder and awe as we contemplate how far we have come in terms of transportation technology.
