EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph from the 1949 SBAC Farnborough Air Display, three iconic aircraft of the post-war aviation era are parked in a neat row for the static display. At the center, the star attraction is the Avro 707 VX784, an Avro Type 707 Transport, with its distinctive curved wings and powerful engines. This aircraft was a significant development in aviation technology, featuring a twin-engine design and advanced pressurized cabin that allowed for long-range, high-altitude flights. To the left of the Avro 707 is the Percival Survey Prince G-ALRY (msn P50-8), a Percival Prentice T.1 trainer aircraft. The Prentice was a popular trainer used by the Royal Air Force and other air forces around the world, known for its versatility and ease of handling. The Percival Survey Prince was a modified version of the Prentice, equipped with survey equipment for geodetic and topographic surveys. To the right of the Avro 707 is the Cierva Skeeter 1 G-AJCJ (msn W.14-1), a Cierva Autogiro. This aircraft was a pioneering design, combining elements of helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft. The Cierva Skeeter was known for its unique design, with a large main rotor and a fixed wing that provided lift and stability. The 1949 SBAC Farnborough Air Display was an important event in the post-war aviation industry, showcasing the latest advances in aircraft technology and design. This photograph captures a moment in time when three groundbreaking aircraft were displayed together, each representing a different aspect of aviation innovation.
