EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the thrilling era of military aviation in the 1960s. The image showcases a momentous achievement that forever etched its name in the annals of speed records. In 1957, an RAF Canberra bomber known as "The Hustler" shattered all expectations by surpassing the previous Tokyo-London flight record by an astounding nine hours. As we gaze upon this historic snapshot, we witness The Hustler gracefully taxiing in at Greenham Common, Berks after completing its groundbreaking journey. Its sleek and formidable presence commands attention, symbolizing not only technological prowess but also human determination to push boundaries. In October 1963, when this photograph was taken, it must have been a sight to behold for onlookers who marveled at this remarkable feat. The B58 Hustler stands as a testament to the unwavering spirit of those who dared to dream big and reach for the skies. With military precision and cutting-edge technology at its core, this iconic aircraft exemplifies the excellence of Royal Air Force's aviation capabilities during that era. It serves as a reminder of how innovation can propel us forward into uncharted territories while setting new world records along the way.
