EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, the English Electric Canberra B.6 mod. WH953 (msn SH1678) graces the skies above RAF Greenham Common during the 1981 International Air Tattoo. The Canberra, a versatile jet-powered aircraft manufactured by English Electric and later British Aircraft Corporation, was a staple of the Royal Air Force (RAF) inventory for several decades. This specific Canberra B.6, registered as WH953, was operated by the Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE) at the time. The RAE is the UK's primary organization for research and development in aviation and aerospace technology. The Canberra B.6 was a modified version of the original Canberra bomber, featuring advanced avionics and systems for research and testing purposes. The image captures the Canberra in its element at the 1981 International Air Tattoo, an annual air show held at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, England. The event showcases a diverse range of military and civilian aircraft from around the world, attracting aviation enthusiasts and industry professionals alike. The Canberra B.6, with its distinctive swept-wing design and powerful engines, cuts through the clouds as it prepares to land at RAF Greenham Common. The photograph offers a unique perspective on this iconic aircraft, highlighting its impressive capabilities and the awe-inspiring power of flight. The Canberra remained in service with the RAF until the late 1990s, making it a beloved and enduring symbol of British aviation history. This photograph serves as a testament to the Canberra's legacy and the ongoing fascination with the world of flight.
