EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Bristol 130 Bombay aircraft of No.216 Squadron, Royal Air Force (RAF), stationed in Egypt during World War II. The year is 1941, and the Bristol Bombay, a versatile twin-engine transport plane, has been repurposed from its original role as a bomber. The image showcases the rugged terrain of the North African desert in the background, with the Bristol Bombay standing proudly in the foreground. The aircraft's distinctive features are on full display, including its large propellers, rounded fuselage, and the RAF roundel emblem on the tail fin. The open cargo door reveals the interior, which has been transformed into a troop transport, with rows of seats and equipment neatly arranged. The British military's use of the Bristol Bombay as a troop transport was a testament to the plane's versatility and adaptability. The aircraft's ability to fly long distances, carry large payloads, and operate from unpaved runways made it an invaluable asset during the war. No.216 Squadron, formed in 1916, had a rich history in the RAF, having served in both World War I and II. The squadron's motto, "Second to None," reflected their commitment to excellence and their dedication to the cause. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the crucial role the RAF played during World War II and the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who served. This photograph is an essential addition to any aviation or military history collection, providing a unique glimpse into the past and the heroic efforts of those who served during the war.
