VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This black and white photograph showcases the Airport of Birmingham-Elmdon, a historical airport that once served as a hub for air travel in Birmingham. The image captures the essence of early aviation with its modest terminal building and an aircraft prominently displayed in front of it, suggesting the excitement surrounding air races at that time. Handwritten text on the photo indicates an event called "King's Cup Air Race" dated September 2nd, without specifying the year. The accompanying text highlights features such as over 200 acres of landing ground, efficient facilities for liner traffic and pleasure visits, fully licensed bar and restaurant amenities, attractive tea balcony views, and hangar space for private owners. This advertisement likely dates back to mid-20th century Britain when regional airports were developing rapidly due to increasing demand for both passenger transport and recreational flying activities.
