Good idea to do thst T6flyer!! I have about 40 shots taken in 1935 that include a Condor in Lufthansa markings……I wonder if anyone would punlish them!!
I’m sure the Croydon Airport Society would love to see these photos, they publish a their own magazine as well as the occassional book.
PS Great shots Rocketeer, incidentally my wife’s grandfather (now 90) used to be a fireman/crane diver at Croydon in the late 40’s.

Wonderful photo. When I was a little lad (quite sometime ago now) my Mum gave me a little photo album, which contained photos taken by her Father at Croydon in the late 1930s. I wasnt that interested in aviation then, and have somehow (shock horror) mislaid the album, but from what I can remember it was full of HP.42s, Lufthansa Ju52/3ms and various French airliners.
Seeing your photo, has given me the incentive of making a trip to my loft today, to see if I can find the album.
