This print takes us back to August 1965, capturing a remarkable moment in aviation history. The image showcases the Aircraft Handley Page Valliant Tanker and two thirsty English Electric F2 Lightnings, XN782/K & XN787/M of 19 Squadron. As they soar through the skies over RAF Marham during a flying demonstration, these powerful aircraft plug into a Victor K2 XH667 refueling tanker. The atmosphere is charged with excitement as these military planes engage in mid-air refueling operations. It's an awe-inspiring display of precision and skill that epitomizes the advancements made during the Cold War era. The aircraft are beautifully captured against a backdrop of blue sky, their sleek designs showcasing the cutting-edge technology of the time. Alisdair MacDonald's expert photography allows us to witness this historic event firsthand, transporting us to an era where flight was still relatively new and full of wonder.
