The Imperial Airways/Club Imperial exhibition also includes details of the HP42 build, as well as displays covering the history, aircraft, and routes undertaken by Imperial Airways. It also displays contemporary advertisements, has original artefacts, such as a Marconi radio set, route maps, and a rare Imperial bell. A slide show and period music also help to take you back in time.
Members often meet up at one of the many events the exhibition attends, and through the stand we have gained vital information which is benefiting both our Imperial Airways archive as well as the 'Imperial 42' project.
We have met many people who used to work for Imperial including engineers and pilots covering most aircraft types used, and we have been able to help many people with their enquiries.
Below are some photos of the exhibition:
