EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from The Peter Butt Aviation Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, we witness an historic moment at Prestwick Airport in 1969. The image showcases the sleek and modern MBB HFB-320 Hansa Jet D-CESI (msn 1038), manufactured by Messerschmitt-Bolkow-Blohm GmbH (MBB), as it prepares for its transatlantic journey to the United States. The Hansa Jet, a marvel of aviation engineering, is dwarfed by the nearby Dan-Air Airspeed Ambassador, a propeller-driven aircraft that was a staple of the Dan-Air fleet during the same era. The MBB HFB-320 Hansa Jet, a twin-engine turboprop airliner, was a significant advancement in aviation technology during the late 1960s. Its streamlined design and advanced engines offered increased efficiency and comfort for passengers. In contrast, the Dan-Air Airspeed Ambassador, a piston-engine aircraft, was a symbol of a bygone era in aviation. The photograph captures the sense of excitement and anticipation as the Hansa Jet readies for takeoff, with the Ambassador parked nearby, a reminder of the evolution of aviation technology. This image is a testament to the rapid advancements in aviation during the late 1960s and the awe-inspiring nature of flight. The MBB HFB-320 Hansa Jet, registration D-CESI, would go on to have a successful career with various airlines around the world, while the Dan-Air Airspeed Ambassadors continued to serve their purpose in the domestic and short-haul markets. This photograph is a fascinating snapshot of aviation history, showcasing the juxtaposition of old and new technologies and the relentless march of progress in the skies.
