EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment during the Thai paratroop training session held at RAF Sembawang in Singapore in 1955. The image shows a group of Thai paratroop trainees seated inside the open door of a Valetta aeroplane, with their helmets and parachutes on, ready for their jump. The Valetta, a type of Avro Anson aircraft, was commonly used by the Royal Air Force for paratroop training during that era. The trainees appear focused and determined, their expressions reflecting the anticipation and excitement of the jump that lies ahead. The vibrant colors of their uniforms and the contrasting blue sky and green foliage of Singapore provide a stunning backdrop to this scene of courage and camaraderie. This photograph is a testament to the close military relationship between Thailand and the United Kingdom during the mid-20th century and the dedication of the Thai soldiers to their training with the Royal Air Force.
