EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases Saab 91A Safir SE-BNN, registration number 91-130, flown by the distinguished Squadron Leader A.R. Moore DFC during the Grosvenor Challenge Trophy race held at Elmdon Airfield in 1949. The Saab 91 Safir, a versatile Swedish-built aircraft, was a popular choice among pilots for its agility and performance. Squadron Leader Moore, a decorated war hero, added another feather to his cap by piloting this sleek machine in the prestigious race. The image captures the intensity and focus of Moore as he skillfully maneuvers the aircraft, with race number 55 proudly displayed on the side. The backdrop of Elmdon Airfield, with its lush greenery and clear blue skies, adds to the sense of excitement and adventure. The Saab 91A Safir, with its distinctive design and advanced features, was a force to be reckoned with in the post-war aviation scene. Its participation in the Grosvenor Challenge Trophy race marked a significant moment in the history of both the aircraft and its pilot. This photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of Saab's aviation heritage and the indomitable spirit of pilots like Squadron Leader Moore who pushed the boundaries of what was possible in the cockpit.
