EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Royal Welcome: Hawker Siddeley HS748 Andover CC2, XS790, of The Queen's Flight at Halfpenny Green Aerodrome, 1969" 2.. This evocative photograph captures the moment when Hawker Siddeley HS748 Andover CC2, XS790, of The Queen's Flight, touched down at Halfpenny Green Aerodrome near Wolverhampton on 3 June 1969. The occasion was a special visit by Her Majesty the Queen Mother to the Wolverhampton School. The HS748, a versatile and popular turboprop airliner, was in service with The Queen's Flight, the private flying unit of the British Royal Family, at that time. The aircraft, with its distinctive red, white, and blue livery, was the perfect embodiment of British aviation technology and royal elegance. The Queen Mother's visit to the school was an important event in the local community, and the arrival of her official aircraft added an air of excitement and prestige to the occasion. The HS748, with its spacious cabin and advanced avionics, provided a comfortable and efficient means of transportation for the Queen Mother and her entourage. This photograph is a testament to the role of aviation in bringing together people and communities, and in providing a royal connection to everyday life. 3.
