This photograph showcases the Fokker FVII 3m, registration OO-AFC, of the Belgian airline SABENA, as it taxis on the tarmac at Croydon Airport in London, England, circa 1930. The Fokker FVII 3m was a significant advancement in aviation technology during the interwar period, featuring a metal fuselage and an enclosed cabin that could accommodate up to 12 passengers. The image captures the essence of the golden age of aviation, with the sleek lines of the Fokker FVII 3m standing out against the backdrop of Croydon Airport's bustling activity. The ground crew can be seen working diligently around the aircraft, ensuring that everything is in order before the next flight. The Fokker FVII 3m was known for its reliability and versatility, making it a popular choice for both private and commercial aviation operations. SABENA, or Société Anonyme Belge de Navigation Aérienne, was a pioneering Belgian airline that played a crucial role in the development of European aviation. Founded in 1923, SABENA operated a fleet of modern aircraft, including the Fokker FVII 3m, and connected Europe's major cities with regular scheduled services. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and ambition of the early aviation pioneers, who pushed the boundaries of what was possible in the realm of air travel. It also serves as a reminder of the rich history of aviation and the role that Croydon Airport played in shaping the industry as we know it today.
