EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Bristol Beaufighter VIC EL224 in Action, November 1942" 2. Description: This evocative photograph captures the power and determination of the Royal Air Force (RAF) during World War II, as a Bristol Beaufighter VIC fighter plane, registration number EL224, takes to the skies in November 1942. The Beaufighter, a versatile British aircraft, was a formidable weapon used for both day and night fighter missions, as well as maritime strike and intruder roles. 3. Background: The Beaufighter, designed and manufactured by the Bristol Aeroplane Company, was a crucial component of the RAF's arsenal during the war. Its distinctive appearance, with a large radial engine and twin-boom tail, made it a recognizable symbol of British air power. This particular Beaufighter, EL224, is seen here in its VIC (Ventral Intruder) configuration, which featured a ventral belly cannon for added firepower. 4. Action: In this image, EL224 is preparing for a sortie, its engines roaring to life as it taxis along a grass runway. The pilot, focused and determined, expertly maneuvers the plane into position for takeoff. The ground crew, dressed in protective gear and wearing helmets, stand at the ready, ensuring the safety of the aircraft and its crew. 5. Significance: This photograph is a testament to the bravery and skill of the RAF pilots and ground crew who flew and maintained the Beaufighter during World War II. It also highlights the crucial role that the Beaufighter played in the defense of the United Kingdom and its allies, as it provided essential air support and protection against enemy aircraft and ships. 6. Technical Details: Date: November 1942. Format: Black and white photograph. Size: Approximately 13 x 9 inches (33 x 23 cm). Rights Managed by Mary Evans Prints Online.
