EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, two iconic British aircraft stand parked side by side in storage at the Proof and Experimental Establishment (PEE) on Foulness Island, Essex, England, in 1968. The first aircraft, the Bristol Type 188 (XF926), is a supersonic experimental test-bed aircraft, a precursor to the Concorde. The sleek, silver jet, with its distinctive delta wing design, was a key component of the cancelled Supersonic Transport Project, an ambitious initiative aimed at developing a supersonic passenger aircraft for the Royal Air Force (RAF) and the British civil aviation industry. The second aircraft, the BAC TSR-2 (XR219), is a two-seat, variable geometry strike-bomber, also a product of the British aviation industry. The TSR-2 was intended to replace the Canberra bomber in the RAF's inventory, but the project was ultimately cancelled due to cost overruns and the emergence of more cost-effective alternatives. The photograph captures the raw power and technological innovation of these two aircraft, which represent the pinnacle of British aviation engineering during the late 1960s. The desolate, industrial backdrop of the PEE facility at Shoeburyness underscores the complex and often challenging nature of military aviation research and development. Despite the eventual cancellation of both projects, the legacy of these aircraft continues to inspire and influence the field of aerospace engineering. This photograph is a rare and intriguing glimpse into the history of British military aviation, offering a unique perspective on the technological advances and challenges of the past. The image is available as a rights-managed print from Mary Evans Prints Online.
