EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Douglas AD-4W Skyraider AEW.1 G-31-2 (msn 7946), also known as WT951 in its previous military service with the Royal Navy (RN) and US Navy (USN), as it sits ready for disposal at Royal Naval Air Station (RNAY) Abbotsinch in Scotland, circa July 1963. The Skyraider, with its distinctive hump-backed design, was a versatile and powerful aircraft that served multiple roles during its military career, including as an electronic warfare (EW) platform. In this configuration, it was designated as the AD-4W Skyraider AEW.1, and was equipped with a rotating radar dome, located under the distinctive hump, which allowed it to detect and track enemy aircraft at long ranges. The Skyraider in this image bears the B-class registration SE-EBM, indicating that it was being prepared for export to Svensk Flygtjänst AB, a Swedish aviation company based in Stockholm. The aircraft's military history is evident in the faded markings of its previous USN and RN service numbers, 127949 and WT951, respectively. The Douglas AD-4W Skyraider, with its rich history and versatile capabilities, continues to be a beloved and iconic aircraft among aviation enthusiasts and historians alike.
