"Refuelled: A Glimpse into the History of Aviation Refuelling" In this captivating collection, we witness the intricate process of refuelling that has fueled the progress of aviation throughout history. From the iconic Avro Lincoln being refuelled at Blackbush to the bustling Gatwick Airport, where Caravelle Jets eagerly await their turn for replenishment. The significance of refuelling extends beyond commercial flights; even naval vessels like HMS New Zealand rely on this vital operation to keep soaring through the skies. As we delve deeper, we discover a mesmerizing image of a Republic P-47C Thunderbolt receiving its much-needed fuel injection, showcasing both power and precision. But it's not just military aircraft that require refuelling; private jets like Dassault Falcon 20C I-ATMO also depend on this essential service to continue their journeys across vast distances. The fervor surrounding these aerial conquests intensifies with each passing moment, as depicted in an evocative Colour Litho capturing the spirit of competition in air dominance. Turning our attention towards more humble aircraft, we find de Havilland DH. 89B Dominie G-AHGD patiently waiting for its tanks to be replenished before embarking on another adventure-filled flight. Meanwhile, a Curtiss P-40B receives manual refuelling by AVG crew members who ensure every drop counts during critical missions. Breaking boundaries and pushing limits is not limited to land or sea but also takes place high above in the sky. G. H Davis's awe-inspiring artwork showcases "Refuelling Aloft, " depicting daring mid-air manoeuvres that highlight both skill and courage required for such operations.
