Photo Comment
'Tenth anniversary of the Paris - London line' - all aircraft here operated by Air Union, which called its London service 'The Golden Ray / Le Rayon d'Or'. The Blériot in the centre is flanked by two LéO 21s, F-AIFE and F-AIZO. Air Union preferred the LéO and only two Blériot 165/175 aircraft were built. See photo of Breguet 280T F-AIVU for the other planes. Photo from: Bibliothèque nationale de France - Gallica This photo was added on 9 January 2026, and has since been viewed 57 times.
