EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the historic moment of April 29th, 1968. The image showcases a Vickers Victor tanker aircraft gracefully refuelling an English Electrics Lightning amidst the flypast at RAF Scampton in Lincoln. The occasion was no ordinary one; it marked the solemn shut down of Bomber Command. The photograph captures the essence of military prowess and precision as these two iconic aircraft soar through the skies. With air-to-air refuelling being a critical operation, this snapshot immortalizes a crucial aspect of aerial combat during that era. The English Electrics Lightning, known for its remarkable speed and agility as an interceptor, stands tall against the backdrop of clouds. Its sleek design perfectly complements the robust presence of the Vickers Victor tanker aircraft responsible for replenishing its fuel mid-flight. As we delve into this piece from Memory Lane Prints, we cannot help but appreciate how it encapsulates both power and grace within a single frame. It serves as a reminder not only of our rich aviation history but also pays homage to those who served in Bomber Command. This photograph is truly a testament to the dedication and bravery exhibited by members of Royal Air Force during that period. It allows us to reflect upon their sacrifices while marveling at their extraordinary achievements in protecting our skies.
