This print showcases the remarkable Short SB. 5, with registration WG768, soaring through the skies during its flight demonstration at the prestigious SBAC Show in Farnborough back in 1953. The aircraft's sleek design and powerful engine are beautifully captured by Charles E Brown, a talented photographer renowned for his ability to freeze moments of aviation history. The Short SB. 5 was an iconic research aircraft that played a pivotal role in postwar aviation advancements. This particular image perfectly encapsulates the spirit of innovation and progress that defined this era.
