EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous occasion in the history of the Royal Air Force. Taken on May 29,2002, at RAF Brize Norton, it showcases a magnificent C17 aircraft operated by 99 Squadron. The squadron, based at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire, played a pivotal role in preparing for the grand formation flypast scheduled to honor Queen Elizabeth II's Jubilee celebration. The image portrays the C17 during an intense practice session for the highly anticipated flypast over Buckingham Palace on June 4th. Led by this very aircraft from 99 Squadron, this majestic event was set to dazzle spectators and pay tribute to Her Majesty's remarkable reign. The C17 featured here is part of the esteemed fleet of transport aircraft deployed by the Royal Air Force. Known as Globemasters or C17As, these formidable machines are vital assets for military operations worldwide. Their immense capacity and versatility make them indispensable when it comes to transporting troops and equipment across vast distances efficiently. Sgt Jack Pritchard skillfully captured this extraordinary moment with his lens while serving in DCC (RAF). His photograph immortalizes not only the power and grace of this particular C17 but also symbolizes the unwavering dedication and professionalism exhibited by all members of our Armed Forces
