Now this IS another claim to fame – we actually feature in an Agatha Christie novel! ‘Death in the Clouds’ was first published in the US in 1935 under the title ‘Death in the Air’ .
Hercule Poirot travels back to England on the midday flight from Paris to Croydon Airport in London. He is one of eleven passengers in the plane’s rear compartment and, of course, a mysterious murder takes place whilst the plane is an route to Croydon .
Croydon Airport came up with big advances; radio telephony (speech transmissions) was used here for the first time instead of Morse Code .
In 1923, Fred Mockford was asked to come up with a distress call, he proposed "Mayday, Mayday, Mayday", because (as most of the flights were from Croydon to Paris) it could be understood by his French counterparts, as it sounded like "M’aidez", ‘help me.’
