EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Armstrong Whitworth Sea Hawk FGA.6 XE390 (msn AW6334), a versatile naval aircraft of the Royal Navy, adorned with an elegant color scheme of olive green upper surfaces and white undersides. The aircraft, which belonged to the Flag Officer Flying Training (FOFT) unit, served as an Admiral's Barge, providing essential transport and communication links between ships at sea and the shore. The image was taken at RNAS Lee-on-Solent on the 15th of June, 1960. The Sea Hawk, a British-designed, twin-engine, carrier-borne aircraft, was a significant asset to the Royal Navy's fleet during the Cold War era. Its versatility allowed it to perform various roles, including fighter, trainer, and anti-submarine warfare duties. The Sea Hawk's striking appearance in this photograph, with its olive green upper surfaces and white undersides, not only highlighted its unique identity as an Admiral's Barge but also underscored its importance in the Royal Navy's aviation fleet. This image is a testament to the rich history of British naval aviation and the pivotal role the Sea Hawk played during that era. The Peter Butt Aviation Collection, from which this photograph is sourced, is a renowned archive of aviation history, offering a wealth of information and visual records of various aircraft types and their contributions to aviation history. This particular photograph is a must-see for aviation enthusiasts, historians, and anyone interested in the history of the Royal Navy and its aviation fleet.
