EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of post-war air power as two Canberra B.2 bombers of 61 Squadron take flight from RAF Upwood in England, with a third Canberra B.2 of 109 Squadron nestled between them on 15 July 1955. The Royal Air Force (RAF) had acquired the Canberra as part of its strategic bomber fleet in the late 1940s, and these versatile aircraft would go on to serve in various roles, including maritime patrol and reconnaissance. The Canberra's sleek, streamlined design and distinctive delta wings were a testament to the advancements in aviation technology during this period. Capable of supersonic speeds and a long range, these bombers represented the cutting edge of air power in the mid-1950s. The RAF's commitment to modernizing its fleet was a reflection of the global geopolitical climate of the time, as tensions between the Western powers and the Soviet Union continued to escalate. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the camaraderie and teamwork that existed among the aircrews of the RAF during this era. The pilots and crew of 61 and 109 Squadrons worked together to ensure the successful execution of their missions, whether it be bombing runs over enemy territory or reconnaissance sorties. The image of the three Canberras flying in formation underscores the unity and cohesion of the RAF during this time. Charles E. Brown, a photographer for the RAF Museum, captured this moment in history with exceptional skill and precision. His photograph not only preserves the memory of these iconic aircraft and the men who flew them, but also provides a glimpse into the past, offering us a window into the world of post-war air power.
