EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the Mary Evans Prints Online archive, we witness a breathtaking moment in aviation history as a formation of various British military aircraft takes to the sky. The image, identified as 10838676, showcases an array of iconic planes, including a Hawker Hunter (PF1109B), a de Havilland Sea Vixen (XF378), and a Folland Hawker Siddeley Hawker Harrier (A20). These aircraft represent different eras and roles within the Royal Air Force (RAF). The Hawker Hunter, a versatile all-weather fighter jet, was introduced in the late 1950s and served until the late 1990s. The de Havilland Sea Vixen, a two-seat, carrier-borne attack aircraft, was operational from the late 1950s to the late 1970s. Lastly, the Harrier, a jump jet, was first introduced in the late 1960s and is still in service today. The photograph also highlights the unique characteristics of these aircraft. The Hawker Hunter, fitted with a radar system, is seen with its nose cone extended. The Sea Vixen, designed for maritime operations, is equipped with the Firestreak air-to-air missile system, which is visible under its wings. The Harrier, with its distinctive vertical takeoff and landing capabilities, is shown in flight, leaving a trail of exhaust in its wake. The photograph's composition and lighting add to its intrigue, capturing the planes in mid-air against a clear blue sky, making for a stunning visual representation of the power and grace of these historic military aircraft. This photograph is not only a testament to the evolution of aviation technology but also a reminder of the significant role the RAF has played in protecting the skies and shaping the future of military aviation.
