EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Hunting Percival Jet Provost T.4 (XP551) of The Red Pelicans squadron taking off in formation at the Farnborough Airshow in September 1962. The Red Pelicans were a renowned flying training unit of the Canadian Forces, based at CFS (Canadian Forces Base) Moose Jaw in Saskatchewan, Canada. The squadron was known for its distinctive red and white paint scheme, which added an extra touch of elegance and pride to their aircraft. The Jet Provost T.4 was a twin-engine, jet-powered trainer aircraft, manufactured by the British company, Hunting Percival Aircraft Limited. It was a versatile and popular training aircraft, widely used by the Royal Canadian Air Force and other air forces around the world. The T.4 variant was specifically designed for advanced flying training, including instrument flying, formation flying, and navigation. The photograph captures the moment of takeoff, as the Red Pelicans squadron members skillfully maneuver their aircraft into a perfect formation, ready to soar into the clear blue sky. The Jet Provosts' powerful engines roar to life, sending plumes of smoke and exhaust into the air. The pilots' concentration and focus are evident as they guide their planes upwards, leaving the ground behind. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of aviation and the dedication of the pilots and aircraft of The Red Pelicans squadron. It offers a glimpse into the past, when the thrill of flying and the art of formation flying were at the forefront of military aviation training.
