| This picture shows Oswald Mosley arriving at Plymouth Airport in October 1934 on a flying visit to give a speech at the Drill Hall on West Hoe. Richard Plathen is stood next to him in his blackshirt uniform. Flying to speaking airports was a deliberate attempt to make the fascists appear modern in their approach to political campaigning. It also clearly emulated the tactics of Adolf Hitler. |
