1. Title: "GAF English Electric Canberra B20 A84-220: A Pioneering Jet Transport of the Royal Australian Air Force" This photograph showcases the GAF English Electric Canberra B20, specifically the A84-220 model, in its prime during its tenure with the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). The Canberra B20, a versatile and pioneering jet transport aircraft, was a significant addition to the RAAF's fleet in the mid-20th century. The Canberra B20 was a derivative of the English Electric Canberra bomber, which first flew in 1951. However, the B20 model was converted for transport duties, featuring a large cargo door and seating for up to 35 passengers. Its sleek design, powered by four Rolls-Royce Avon RA.7 engines, made it an efficient and versatile aircraft for various missions, including troop and cargo transport, medical evacuation, and even maritime patrol. A84-220 was one of 19 Canberra B20s delivered to the RAAF between 1958 and 1959. This image captures the aircraft during a refueling stop, showcasing its distinctive livery and the distinctive shape of its wings. The Canberra B20 remained in RAAF service until the late 1970s, making way for more modern transport aircraft. This photograph is a testament to the GAF English Electric Canberra B20's pioneering role in jet transport aviation and its enduring legacy in the history of the Royal Australian Air Force.
