EDITORS COMMENTS
This black-and-white photograph showcases the Blackburn RB1B Iris III, registration number S1593, affectionately known as Zephyrus. The Iris III was a versatile and advanced transport aircraft produced by the Blackburn Aircraft Company in the late 1940s. This particular aircraft served with the Royal Air Force (RAF) and was a vital asset during the post-World War II era. The Blackburn RB1B Iris III was a twin-engine, high-wing monoplane designed to carry out various roles, including passenger transport, cargo transport, and medical evacuation. Its robust design and impressive performance made it a popular choice among RAF squadrons. The aircraft featured a large cabin with seating for up to 18 passengers, as well as a rear cargo compartment that could accommodate a significant amount of cargo or medical litters. In this photograph, Zephyrus is seen taxing on the runway, with its distinctive propellers spinning, ready for takeoff. The aircraft's sleek lines and meticulously maintained finish are evident, reflecting the pride and care taken by its crew. The image captures a moment in time when the Iris III was at the height of its operational capabilities, serving the RAF with distinction and contributing to the rebuilding of post-war air transport infrastructure. This photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Blackburn RB1B Iris III and the vital role it played in the history of military aviation. Zephyrus, S1593, remains an iconic symbol of a bygone era in aviation history.
