EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the power and grace of a Hawker Tempest II in flight, taken on 19 July 1945 at RAF Langley. The Tempest II, with the serial number PR533, was a postwar variant of the legendary Hawker Tempest fighter aircraft, which had first seen combat during World War II. The Tempest II was an advanced development of the original Tempest, featuring a more powerful engine and improved armament. It was one of the most effective fighters in the Royal Air Force (RAF) inventory during the closing stages of the war, and continued to serve with distinction in the postwar period. The image shows the Tempest II in its natural element, soaring through the sky with an effortless grace that belied its formidable capabilities. The sleek lines of the aircraft, with its distinctive elliptical wings and fin, are accentuated by the contrast between the dark, menacing clouds below and the bright, clear sky above. The Tempest II was a symbol of the RAF's postwar air power, and this photograph captures a moment in history when the focus of the RAF was shifting from the battlefields of war to the peacetime tasks of maintaining the security of the skies. The Tempest II, with its powerful engines and advanced avionics, was at the forefront of this new era, and this photograph serves as a testament to its enduring legacy. Charles E. Brown, the photographer, captured this image with a keen eye for detail and a deep appreciation for the beauty and power of the aircraft. His photograph is a reminder of the rich history of the RAF and the important role that the Hawker Tempest II played in shaping that history.
