EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from the past, the de Havilland DH91 Albatross and Blackburn Skua stand proudly side by side at the Royal Air Force (RAF) Display at Hendon, showcasing the diverse range of aircraft that graced the skies during the interwar period. The de Havilland DH91 Albatross, registration G-EBMD, is a two-engine biplane transport aircraft that first flew in 1932. Known for its sleek design and impressive performance, the Albatross was widely used by the RAF for transport and communication duties during the 1930s and early 1940s. In stark contrast to the Albatross, the Blackburn Skua, K5178, is a single-seat, carrier-borne dive-bomber and fighter. This prototype, which first flew in 1935, was a pioneering design for its time, featuring a retractable undercarriage and a distinctive canopy that offered excellent all-round visibility. Despite its innovative features, the Skua faced numerous challenges during its service life, including engine problems and a lack of armament. The image captures the essence of aviation history, with the Albatross and Skua representing the versatility and innovation that characterized the interwar period in aviation. The RAF Display at Hendon provided an opportunity for the public to witness these remarkable machines up close, offering a glimpse into the world of military aviation and the technological advancements that shaped it. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of aviation history and the continued fascination with the planes that have shaped our skies.
