EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of camaraderie and determination among RAF Halton apprentices during the 1977 Ten Tors expedition. The team, dressed in their uniforms and carrying their gear, are seen boarding the ubiquitous RAF Bedford SB3 (43AC42) with Strachans Pacesaver bodywork. The Bedford bus, a familiar sight for anyone who served in the RAF during the 1970s and 1980s, was notorious for its uncomfortable ride and cramped quarters. Despite these challenges, the apprentices used the bus as transportation to and from the rugged Dartmoor terrain in Devon, where they competed in the annual Ten Tors cross-country team march. The Ten Tors event, which involved teams navigating their way across the moorland to reach specific checkpoints, was a test of physical and mental endurance. This photograph serves as a reminder of the unique experiences and challenges faced by RAF personnel during their training, and the resilience and teamwork required to overcome them." "Aeronautical enthusiasts may also appreciate the background of this photograph, which features a vintage aircraft model or aeroplane in the foreground. The combination of military transport and aviation imagery highlights the connection between the RAF's ground operations and its role in the skies.
