Registered initially July 1926 to the Air Council for evaluation as a troop carrier. To Imperial Airways 23 April 1927.

'Opening of the new Croydon airport [terminal].' The new buildings began operations on 20 January 1928 but were only officially opened on 2 May 1928. The old buildings on Plough Lane had not yet been fully demolished by then. The photo was most probably taken on 21 March when King Amaunalla of Afghanistan made a flight in G-EBOZ and inspected 'two lines of light aeroplanes, including privately owned DH Moths, which had been flown to Croydon.' G-EBOZ was still named City of Wellingon on that occasion. It was renamed City of Arundel later on. Photo from: The Henry Ford
