Imperial Airways Collection
Thu, Oct 22nd 2015 at 12:30 pm - 3:30 pm
Members and guests attended the collection which is housed in The Goddard Arms.
On arrival at the Goddard Arms, our attentive Rotarians and guests tucked in to a light lunch.
Soon afterwards, our expert and enthusiast Neil Farley began our tour of the collection. Neil has invested a huge amount of time to gather artifacts primarily from Imperial Airways - an airline launched in the early days of commercial aircraft.
The collection covers:
- documents - brochures, posters, invoices advertisements and so on
- a replica of part of the original Croydon Airport booking hall, complete with Imperial Airways ticket
- an inch-perfect facsimile of passenger seating in an HP42 airliner
- and much more!
