EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a RAF Vickers Wellesley Mark I, registration G-AFCN or G-ADZX, parked on the desert airfield at Ismailia, Egypt in 1938. The image, part of the G4 31 Flight archive, showcases the ruggedness and versatility of this British-built biplane, which was a mainstay of the Royal Air Force's (RAF) medium bomber fleet during the late 1930s. The RAF Vickers Wellesley, also known as the Type O.29 or the "Battle of Britain Bomber," was a twin-engine, twin-boom aircraft designed by RAF Vickers and first flown in 1936. Its distinctive features included retractable landing gear, a large bomb bay, and the ability to carry external stores. The Wellesley saw action in various theaters, including the Middle East and the Far East, where it proved an effective weapon against ground targets. In the photograph, the Wellesley is seen with towbars attached, likely preparing for a move to another location or for towing a target sled for training purposes. The aircraft's RAF roundels and serial number are clearly visible on the fuselage, while the desert landscape and palm trees in the background add to the sense of adventure and history. This photograph is a testament to the RAF's presence in the Middle East during the late 1930s and the vital role the RAF Vickers Wellesley played in the defense of the British Empire. The image is a valuable historical record and a reminder of the courage and determination of the men and women who served in the RAF during this period.
