EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing photograph captured at Khartoum Airport in Sudan during the 1950s, the fusion of ancient and modern modes of transportation is vividly depicted. A camel, a symbol of the region's rich history and cultural heritage, is seen pulling a trolley, while in the background, a British European Airways (BEA) Vickers Viscount prototype plane, registration number G-AHRF, is parked in the hangar. The Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, a British protectorate from 1898 to 1956, was a significant part of the European colonial empire in Africa. The introduction of modern aviation technology in the region marked a turning point in the transportation sector, providing faster and more efficient means of travel compared to traditional methods like camel caravans. The BEA Viscount, a twin-engine turboprop airliner, was a groundbreaking aircraft of the 1950s, revolutionizing air travel with its advanced design and capabilities. This prototype, G-AHRF, was a precursor to the successful Viscount series that would go on to serve numerous airlines worldwide. The image of a camel pulling a trolley alongside a modern aeroplane encapsulates the transitional period in the history of transportation in Sudan and the Middle East. The juxtaposition of these two distinct modes of transportation highlights the intersection of the old and the new, reflecting the complex and intriguing history of the region during the colonial era.
