In this evocative black-and-white photograph, the Supermarine Seafire F.17, registration SX138, takes center stage. Belonging to 807 Squadron of the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm, this iconic British naval fighter is poised for takeoff from the flight deck of HMS Vengeance. The year is 1947, marking the postwar era of the Royal Navy's aviation history. The image captures the raw power and determination of the Fleet Air Arm during this period, as it continued to protect the United Kingdom's maritime interests. The Seafire F.17, a development of the successful Seafire series, was specifically designed for carrier-based operations. Its distinctive curved wing design and powerful Rolls-Royce Griffon engine made it a formidable force in the skies above the Royal Navy's fleet. In the background, the silhouette of the Battle Class Destroyer HMS Cadiz can be seen, adding a sense of scale and context to the scene. With its imposing presence and advanced weaponry, HMS Cadiz was a vital component of the Royal Navy's defensive capabilities during this time.

Charles E Brown, a photographer from the Royal Air Force Museum, captured this moment in history with exceptional skill and precision. His photograph not only showcases the technical prowess of the Seafire F.17 and the HMS Cadiz but also the camaraderie and dedication of the men and women who served in the Fleet Air Arm during the postwar era.
