The new Aerodrome and Tower were built in 1928 along with hotel (seen on the left here). It was the first Customs Airport in London. Before and after 1928, Croydon was the scene of the start, or finish, of many record-breaking, pioneering and historic flights. Among the highlights are Cobham's return from his five-month African trip in 1926; Lindbergh's visit fresh from the first Atlantic solo flight in 1927; and Amy Johnson's return from Australia in 1930.
