The image depicts the Royal Air Force's (RAF) groundbreaking Bristol Brandon Air Ambulance, registration number J6997, standing proudly on an airfield in the 1920s. The era, known as the Roaring Twenties, was a time of rapid technological advancements, and the RAF was at the forefront of utilizing aviation for medical aid.
