John Stroud Gallery
We were fortunate to get hold of several John Stroud papers from two different sources. Stroud has recorded valuable information about the early days of post-war Indian Civil Aviation. The scanned images of his notes are shown here. He also built an impressive collection of publicity photographs and we also got some of his related correspondence.We were fortunate to get hold of several John Stroud papers from two different sources.
