Romford Now & Then   Glimpses of the Past in the Present

 

The following information comes from a note attached to the back of a photograph of the inaugural flight of the Hillmans Airways service between Romford and Paris:

"NEW AIR LINE TO PARIS
"OPENING FLIGHT TODAY

"A new air line to Paris was inaugurated by Mr. EDWARD HILLMAN at Romford today (Sat) when the first aeroplane on the service left for Paris.
"A twice-daily service will be run in both directions.

"O.P.S.  Mr. E. HILLMAN and the pilot of the first liner to leave, Mr. H. WOOD."

The back of the photograph also has a stamp showing that it was supplied by London News Agency Photos Ltd., 46, Fleet Street, London, E.C.4.
