Description: This evocative photograph captures the Martin-Baker MB.2 P9594, a British single-seat fighter trainer aircraft, parked at Heston Airfield in 1939.

The aircraft in this photograph, registered as P9594, bears the "A.M." subscript suffix, which was only used for a short period of time. 4. Scene: The image shows the MB.2 in its natural habitat, the bustling airfield. Surrounded by other aircraft and ground crew, the plane appears ready for action. The weathered runway and hangars in the background add to the sense of history and the passage of time. 5.

The print is available in various sizes and formats, making it an excellent addition to any aviation enthusiast's collection. 6. Historical Significance: This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a tangible connection to the history of British aviation during a pivotal time in history.
