EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the sleek lines and powerful form of a Panavia Tornado GR.1, serial number ZD849 AJ-F, take center stage as it sits proudly in a hangar at RAF Marham. The Tornado, a versatile and formidable multirole combat aircraft, was a mainstay of the Royal Air Force (RAF) inventory throughout the 1990s. This particular aircraft belonged to No.617 (Dambusters) Squadron, an esteemed unit with a rich history of daring raids and aviation excellence. The image captures a moment of contrast, as the Tornado, a symbol of modern military aviation, is juxtaposed with the iconic silhouette of a Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF) Dakota in the background. The Dakota, a historic Douglas DC-3 transport aircraft, is a poignant reminder of the heroic efforts of the RAF during World War II. The year is 1993, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the dynamic world of RAF aviation. The hangar at RAF Marham, filled with the hum of machinery and the scent of aviation fuel, is a testament to the dedication and expertise of the men and women who serve in the RAF. The Tornado, with its advanced capabilities and cutting-edge technology, represents the evolution of military aviation, while the BBMF Dakota serves as a connection to the past, a reminder of the sacrifices and triumphs that have shaped the RAF's storied history. This photograph, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, is a captivating representation of the enduring allure of aviation and the unwavering commitment of the Royal Air Force to protecting the skies.
