Railway Air Services timetable cover - 1938 : cover by Reginald Mayes
How wonderful is this? - very fine example of 1930s 'airbrush' artwork, fairly leaping out of the page. The artist is "M" - who also undertook work for the LMS Railway and indeed this leaflet has an LMSR 'ERO' code, suggesting it was produced by the LMS for RAS. "M" stands for artist Reginald Mayes.
The Railway Air Services were formed in 1934 by amalgamating the air services of the 'Big Four' UK railway companies, along with interest from Imperial Airways. RAS were merged into BEA in 1946/7.
The timetable is posted by kind permission of Paul Ross.
