EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of touch down as Avro Shackleton MR.2 WL744 of the Royal Air Force's No. 37 Squadron comes in to land at RAF Khormaksar in Aden, circa 1960. The Avro Shackleton, a versatile maritime patrol aircraft, played a crucial role in protecting the British naval interests in the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea during the Cold War era. In this image, we see the large, propeller-driven aircraft descending towards the runway, with the distinctive shape of its hull and wings clearly visible against the backdrop of the desert landscape. The accommodation buildings of RAF Khormaksar can be seen in the foreground, providing shelter for the airmen and ground crew who kept these vital aircraft operational. The scene is one of focused efficiency, as the crew prepares for the next mission, while the ground personnel stand ready to receive the aircraft and carry out essential maintenance. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of a Royal Air Force base during the 1960s, and the vital role played by the Avro Shackleton in maintaining the security of the UK's maritime interests.
