EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a Handley Page Hampden I torpedo bomber of 455 Squadron Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) takes to the skies over an airfield during World War II. The image, captured by renowned photographer Charles E. Brown of the Royal Air Force (RAF) Museum, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of bravery and sacrifice. The Handley Page Hampden, a stalwart of the RAF's night bombing campaign during the early years of the war, was a versatile aircraft that served in various roles, including torpedo and mine-laying missions. The 455 Squadron, formed in 1941, was one of several RAAF units that operated the Hampden, contributing significantly to the Allied war effort. As the sun casts long shadows over the airfield, the Hampden's distinctive silhouette stands out against the grey, overcast sky. The aircraft's wings are adorned with the distinctive roundels and markings of the RAAF, while the fuselage bears the squadron's insignia - a kangaroo and a boomerang. The crew, dressed in their flying gear, are visible in the open bomb bay, preparing for their mission. The photograph captures the raw power and determination of the men and machines that fought in the skies during World War II. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the aircrews of the RAF and RAAF, who put their lives on the line to protect their countries and secure a better future for generations to come. Charles E. Brown's photograph is a testament to the heroism and resilience of those who served during this pivotal period in history. It invites us to reflect on the past, honour the memories of those who served, and cherish the freedom and peace we enjoy today.
