EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the powerful presence of RAF High Speed Launch (HSL) 2626, a Type 3 "Hants & Dorset" vessel of the Royal Air Force (RAF), during World War II. The HSLs were a vital component of the RAF's anti-submarine warfare capabilities, providing essential protection for convoys and naval forces in the face of the German U-boat threat. The HSL 2626, named after the counties of Hampshire and Dorset, was launched in 1941 and served with distinction throughout the war. Its sleek lines and powerful engines made it a formidable force on the water, capable of reaching impressive speeds and maneuverability that outmatched many submarines. In this image, we see the HSL 2626 underway, its propellers churning up the water as it cuts through the waves. The ship's gun mounts are trained on the horizon, scanning for any signs of enemy submarines. The crew, dressed in their distinctive RAF uniforms, stand at their stations, ready to respond to any threat. The photograph was taken by Charles E. Brown, a skilled photographer who captured many moments of the RAF's history during World War II. His work provides a valuable record of the bravery and determination of the men and women who served in the RAF, and the vital role that the HSLs played in protecting Allied shipping and naval forces. This photograph is a reminder of the important contributions made by the RAF during World War II, and the crucial role that technology, innovation, and determination played in the Allied victory. The HSLs may no longer be in service, but their legacy lives on in the history books and in the memories of those who served on them.
