EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, HRH Princess Margaret, the younger sister of Queen Elizabeth II, pays a visit to RAF St Mawgan in Cornwall during the 1950s. Dressed in an elegant royal uniform, adorned with gold braid and a feathered hat reminiscent of the Cornish Saint, she exudes an air of grace and sophistication. The Princess, who served as a Senior Aircraftswoman in the Women's Auxiliary Air Force (WAAF) during World War II, was making an official tour of various RAF bases around the country in the post-war era. Here, she is greeted by a smartly-uniformed RAF officer, who salutes her in respectful deference. The backdrop of RAF St Mawgan, with its distinctive red and white striped hangars and rows of aircraft, adds a sense of history and tradition to the scene. The Cornish setting, with its rolling hills and blue skies, further enhances the idyllic atmosphere. The presence of the Princess at the base would have been a source of great pride and excitement for the RAF personnel and their families. Her visit served to boost morale and reinforce the connection between the monarchy and the military. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, capturing a moment in time when royalty and the armed forces came together to celebrate tradition, history, and the enduring bond between them. The image is a testament to the rich heritage of both the British monarchy and the RAF, and serves as a reminder of the important role that both institutions have played in shaping the history of our nation.
