EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Saro S36 Lerwick aircraft, registration number G-ACRR, standing proudly on the Columbine apron at Lerwick Airfield in late 1939. The Saro S36 Lerwick was a versatile and popular aircraft of its time, known for its short takeoff and landing capabilities, making it an ideal choice for operating from grass and unpaved runways. The image showcases the Saro S36 Lerwick's distinctive features, such as its high-wing configuration, fixed-pitch propeller, and large tailfin. The aircraft's livery is adorned with the insignia of the operator, although the identity remains a mystery. The Columbine apron, with its rough terrain and scattered stones, adds to the rugged charm of the scene. The late 1930s marked a significant period in aviation history, with the advent of more advanced aircraft designs and the looming threat of war. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into that era, showcasing the Saro S36 Lerwick as it prepares for its next mission. The image is a testament to the courage and determination of the pilots and crews who braved the challenges of flying in an age before modern aviation technology. This photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a valuable addition to any aviation history collection. Its timeless composition and historical significance make it a must-have for enthusiasts, historians, and anyone with an appreciation for the history of flight.
