EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the sleek lines and powerful presence of a Fairey Seal aircraft of 821 Squadron FA, based at Gibraltar in 1935. The Fairey Seal was a biplane flying boat that served in the Royal Air Force (RAF) and Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm during the interwar period. It was a versatile aircraft, capable of performing various roles including reconnaissance, bombing, and torpedo attacks. The Seal in this image wears the distinctive markings of 821 Squadron, which was formed in 1918 and was based at Gibraltar from 1933 to 1939. The squadron's emblem, a red lion rampant on a gold background, is clearly visible on the side of the fuselage. The aircraft is also adorned with the RAF roundel and the letters "FA" denoting its status as a Fleet Air Arm unit. The photograph was taken during a time when the RAF and Royal Navy were expanding their naval air power in preparation for the looming threat of war. The Seal was an important part of this effort, providing long-range maritime patrol capabilities and helping to protect Britain's naval interests. The image also offers a glimpse into the daily life of the squadron personnel. The aircraft is moored alongside a jetty, with men in uniform visible in the background, likely engaged in maintenance or preparation for a mission. The sun is setting in the background, casting a warm glow over the scene and adding to the sense of tranquility before the bustle of nighttime operations. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of the RAF and the Fleet Air Arm during the interwar period, and offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily life and operations of a squadron based in a strategic location like Gibraltar.
