EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the sleek lines and imposing presence of a Vickers Wellington B.Mk.X, serial number RP550, as it taxis on the tarmac of an RAF airfield during the Second World War. The image, part of the extensive archive held by Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the daily operations of No. 2 Ferry Pool, a unit responsible for transporting newly built or repaired aircraft to their operational bases. The Wellington, a versatile and iconic British bomber, was a mainstay of the RAF's strategic bombing campaign against Germany. Its distinctive shape, characterized by its rounded fuselage and twin engines, made it a formidable presence in the skies. In this photograph, the Wellington's wings are folded, revealing the intricate details of its engine nacelles and the meticulously painted insignia of No. 2 Ferry Pool. The year is estimated to be circa 1944, a time when the Allied forces were gaining momentum in their fight against the Axis powers. The Wellington, with its impressive payload capacity and long range, played a crucial role in delivering essential supplies and troops to the front lines. The aircraft's versatility also made it an effective tool for various missions, including mine laying, maritime patrol, and even search and rescue. As the Wellington taxis towards the runway, its propellers churn up the ground, leaving a trail of dust in its wake. The crew, dressed in their flight gear, are focused on their tasks, their expressions a mix of concentration and determination. The scene is a testament to the courage and resilience of the men and women who served in the RAF during the war, and the vital role that aircraft like the Vickers Wellington played in securing victory.
