EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, taken by Charles E. Brown for the Royal Air Force (RAF) Museum, we witness a pivotal moment during the interwar period as a Rolls-Royce armoured car of 6 Squadron soars overhead, casting a long shadow against the sun-scorched desert landscape. The year is 1936, and the location is the Jordan Valley. The Rolls-Royce armoured cars, a vital component of the RAF's ground support capabilities, were a formidable sight to behold. These vehicles, with their imposing silhouettes and armoured plating, were designed to protect the crews from the harsh desert conditions and potential enemy fire. The Fairey Gordon (K2636), the specific model seen in this photograph, was a versatile machine, capable of both reconnaissance and infantry support roles. Beneath the Rolls-Royce, a convoy of other RAF armoured cars winds its way through the arid terrain. The vehicles, laden with supplies and troops, are a testament to the logistical challenges faced by the RAF during this era. The Jordan Valley, with its strategic importance as a potential invasion route, was a critical area for the RAF to secure and protect. The photograph captures a sense of determination and resolve in the faces of the soldiers and airmen, as they navigate the rugged terrain and prepare for the challenges that lie ahead. The Rolls-Royce, with its powerful engine and protective armour, serves as a symbol of the RAF's commitment to defending its interests and maintaining peace in the region. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the RAF's history during the interwar period, a time of uncertainty and preparation for the challenges that would come with the outbreak of World War II. The Rolls-Royce armoured cars, like the one depicted in this photograph, would go on to play a crucial role in the defense of the United Kingdom and its allies in the years to come.
