The year however is 2008, the tower is now a Marriott Hotel, and the plane is a heritage piece offering pleasure flights to a lucky few. Still, thanks to the good people of the Friends of Liverpool Airport celebrating their birthday, I can forget...just for a little while...that I was born fifty years too late. ;) There's nothing technically great about this shot, but the sight of a De Havilland Rapide flying over the beautiful art deco control tower of Speke Airport in Liverpool encapsulates everything that was beautiful and elegant about the thirties.
