CONNECTING THE EMPIRE
Hanno, a four-engine biplane, is refuelled at Samakh,
Tiberius (now Israel), while serving Imperial Airlines –
one of Britain’s first commercial airlines. Despite the
aircraft’s ramshackle appearance, the biplanes were
remarkably safe and comfortable, with roomy
seating for passengers and even serving hot
meals. They were also famous for showing
the first on-board film, The Lost World,
in 1925.
1931
