EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the archives, the Supermarine Spitfire Vb, AB910, and Hawker Hurricane IIC, PZ865/G-AMAU, take center stage at the 1957 Royal Aeronautical Society Garden Party held at Wisley on September 15. The Spitfire, with its iconic sleek lines and distinctive Merlin engine, is shown on the left, while the Hurricane, a formidable fighter in its own right, is positioned to its right. AB910 is a significant Spitfire, as it was the last production Supermarine Spitfire Vb built before the introduction of the Spitfire VI. This historic aircraft, with its distinctive round wingtips, was a mainstay of the Royal Air Force (RAF) during World War II and continued to serve in various roles until the late 1950s. The Hawker Hurricane IIC, PZ865/G-AMAU, is a rare survivor and holds a special place in aviation history. It was the last production Hurricane built, marking the end of an era for this legendary fighter. The Hurricane, with its powerful Rolls-Royce Merlin engine and eight machine guns, was instrumental in the RAF's early successes during the Battle of Britain. Both aircraft are now part of the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, ensuring that their legacy lives on. This photograph captures a moment in time when these iconic planes, symbols of courage and determination, were still in service and a reminder of the important role they played in defending the skies of Britain during World War II.
