EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, taken in 1957, Wing Commander R.D. Romanis proudly shows Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh the de Havilland Firestreak infra-red, air-to-air guided missile mounted on a Gloster Javelin F(AW) 2, XA633. The royal visit to the Royal Air Force (RAF) base marked a significant moment in aviation history, as the monarch and her consort were given an up-close look at the latest advancements in military aviation technology. The Gloster Javelin, a twin-engine, all-weather, supersonic interceptor aircraft, was a formidable machine in its time. Its advanced capabilities, including the ability to carry and deploy the Firestreak missile, made it a valuable asset to the RAF's air defense fleet. The Firestreak missile, with its sophisticated infra-red guidance system, was a game-changer in air-to-air combat, allowing pilots to engage targets beyond visual range. Wing Commander Romanis, a skilled aviator and experienced RAF officer, expertly explains the intricacies of the missile system to the intrigued monarch and the Duke of Edinburgh. The Queen, dressed in a stylish coat and hat, leans in to get a better look at the missile, while the Duke of Edinburgh, in his military uniform, listens intently to the Wing Commander's explanation. The background of the photograph shows other RAF personnel in uniform, adding to the sense of occasion and importance of the moment. This photograph captures a unique moment in history, as the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh are given a behind-the-scenes look at the cutting-edge technology of the RAF's aircraft and missile systems. It is a testament to the innovation and progress of aviation technology during the mid-20th century and the important role the RAF played in its development.
