Europe's biggest passenger airliner landed at Croydon Airport opening the three hour daily service with Berlin. It is a four engined Junkers 90, carrying 40 passengers at 220 miles an hour. A view of the New German Junkers 90 airliner, showing its size compared to other airliners at Croydon, London, on August 1, 1939.

 
Besides the DH.91's & the AW, I think that is a rare Bloch MB220 just to the right of the Junkers, Great Picture.
 
Absolutely exact. Bloch 220 n° 17 (last one of the first and unique batch) F-ARIQ "Roussillon". Later to Lufthansa D-AXWG then D-AUAL.

Opposite side, two DH 91 Albatross, G-AFD? and G-AFD? (!) and two Armstrong Whitworth AW 27 Ensign.
You are right there is a 2nd AW 27 in that picture! Any idea what the High Wing Monoplane or Biplane is just behind the AW's? I was thinking a Handly Page HP 42? but the wingtip does not look like it or does it look like a Fokker to my eyes.
