EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the iconic de Havilland DH.104 Devon C.2, military registration VP981 (msn 04205), as it soars through the sky as part of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF) in the early 21st century. The Royal Air Force (RAF) aircraft, manufactured by de Havilland, is a twin-engine, multi-role transport plane that first entered service in 1954. Its versatility made it a popular choice for various roles, including passenger transport, VIP transport, and even maritime patrol. The Devon C.2, with its distinctive hump-backed fuselage, is seen here in pristine condition, adorned with the distinctive markings of the BBMF. The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight is a unique organization that preserves and displays historic RAF aircraft, providing a poignant reminder of the courage and sacrifice of those who served during World War II. The Devon C.2, with its powerful engines and spacious cabin, was a mainstay of the RAF's transport fleet for many years, and its continued presence in the skies through the BBMF is a testament to its enduring legacy. This photograph captures the essence of aviation history, as the Devon C.2 pays tribute to the past while continuing to inspire and captivate audiences with its timeless beauty and grace.
