EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Himalaya Flight Group, an intrepid band of aviators, at Heston Aerodrome on 16 February 1933, the day they embarked on their historic journey to India. The group, consisting of Air Commodore P. Fellowes, Flt Lt David F. McIntyre, E.C. Shepherd, Lord Clydesdale, and Hughes the mechanic, are seen posing proudly next to their de Havilland Fox Moth, registration number G-ACCS. The Fox Moth, a versatile and reliable aircraft, was chosen for this groundbreaking mission due to its ability to carry both passengers and cargo over long distances. The Himalaya Flight Group was formed to provide air transport services between the UK and India, a journey that was previously undertaken by sea. The group's daring endeavor marked a significant milestone in aviation history, reducing the travel time between the two countries from several weeks to just a few days. The group's successful completion of the journey paved the way for regular air services between Europe and Asia. In this photograph, the group members exude a sense of excitement and determination as they prepare to embark on their momentous journey. The de Havilland Fox Moth, a symbol of innovation and progress, sits proudly in the background, ready to carry them across continents and into the annals of aviation history.
