EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a Dassault Falcon 20 aircraft gracefully soaring over the picturesque River Tees and the iconic Transporter Bridge in Middlesbrough. The image not only showcases the beauty of this historic location but also tells a fascinating story of FR Aviation's significant contribution to Britain's air defenses. During the 1990s, FR Aviation, based at Teesside Airport, played a pivotal role in enhancing national security by testing the Royal Air Force's ability to repulse attacks. Contracted by the Ministry of Defence, their mission was to train RAF ground personnel from Tornado Interceptor squadrons. Equipped with cutting-edge radar jamming technology, they operated six Dassault Falcon 20 aircraft that proved instrumental in honing these crucial defense skills. The date etched into this photograph is September 24th, 1996—a testament to an era when aerospace advancements were rapidly shaping military strategies. As we admire this awe-inspiring jet soaring through the sky, it serves as a reminder of the dedication and expertise required to safeguard our skies. With its focus on defense and military applications rather than commercial use, this remarkable image encapsulates both technological prowess and natural splendor. It stands as a tribute to NCJ's talent behind capturing such moments frozen in time and offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on how far aviation has come since those transformative years in British airspace history.
