EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the Fairchild-Swearingen Merlin IIIA CF05 (msn T265) of the Belgian Air Force (Force Aerienne Belge / Belgische Luchtmacht) at the 1979 International Air Tattoo held at RAF Greenham Common. The Merlin IIIA, a versatile twin-turboprop transport aircraft, is seen in its prime, showcasing its distinctive livery and powerful presence on the tarmac. The Belgian Air Force acquired this particular aircraft in 1976, expanding its fleet to support various missions, including transport and maritime patrol. The International Air Tattoo, an annual airshow held in the United Kingdom, brought together aviation enthusiasts and military personnel from around the world to celebrate the joy of flight and showcase the latest advancements in aviation technology. This photograph, taken on 23 June 1979, is a testament to the rich history of military aviation and the enduring allure of aircraft like the Fairchild-Swearingen Merlin IIIA. The Peter Butt Aviation Collection, from Mary Evans Prints Online, preserves this moment in time, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and significance of this remarkable aircraft.
