EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, the Handley Page Hastings T Mk.5, registration TG553, of the Strike Command Bombing School from RAF Lindholme, is seen taxying at RAF Finningley in 1971. The Royal Air Force (RAF) aircraft, manufactured by Handley Page, was a versatile transport and military cargo plane, widely used during the Second World War and into the 1970s. The Hastings T Mk.5, with its distinctive twin-engine configuration and large tailfin, exudes an air of power and authority as it moves steadily along the tarmac. The image captures the raw energy and precision of aviation technology, as the plane's powerful engines emit plumes of smoke, indicating the readiness for takeoff. The Strike Command Bombing School, based at RAF Lindholme, was responsible for training RAF personnel in the use of bombs and other munitions. The presence of TG553 at RAF Finningley suggests that the crew was undergoing training exercises or transporting supplies to support the school's operations. Peter Butt, the renowned aviation photographer, captured this moment in time, preserving a snapshot of RAF history. The photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Handley Page Hastings T Mk.5 and the vital role it played in the Royal Air Force's mission to protect and serve the United Kingdom. This image is a valuable addition to any aviation or military history collection, offering a unique insight into the world of military aviation during the early 1970s. The intricate details of the aircraft, from the engine exhausts to the control surfaces, are beautifully rendered, making this a must-have for aviation enthusiasts and historians alike. This photograph is available as a high-quality print from Mary Evans Prints Online, providing a tangible connection to the past and a reminder of the incredible technological achievements of the Royal Air Force and Handley Page.
