EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the majesty and power of an English Electric Canberra B.2 (99+34) from WTD-61, as it gracefully takes to the skies above RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, England during the 1993 Royal International Air Tattoo. Held from July 21 to 27, this renowned air show showcased an impressive array of military and civilian aircraft from around the world. The Canberra, a iconic British jet-powered bomber and reconnaissance aircraft, was a crowd favorite. Originally designed and manufactured by English Electric and Handley Page, the Canberra served the Royal Air Force (RAF) from the late 1950s until the early 2000s. With its distinctive swept-wing design and powerful Rolls-Royce Avon engines, this aircraft was a sight to behold. In this image, we see the Canberra taking off from Manching Air Base in Bavaria, Germany, adorned with the distinctive markings of WTD-61. The photograph, taken by renowned aviation photographer Peter Butt, beautifully captures the essence of aviation and transport history, providing a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the awe-inspiring capabilities of military aircraft.
