EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, the English Electric Canberra PR3, WE139, proudly rolls out at Heathrow Airport in October 1953, fresh from its victory in the New Zealand Air Race. Flt Lt Burton and his crew are seen beaming with pride as they stand beside their winning aircraft, the Canberra PR3, a versatile and advanced plane that had proven its worth in this grueling competition. The New Zealand Air Race, held in 1953, was a long-distance air race that attracted participants from around the world. The English Electric Canberra PR3, a transport aircraft primarily used for maritime patrol and reconnaissance, was an unexpected contender in the race. However, its advanced design, including its jet engines and swept wings, gave it an edge over its propeller-driven competitors. The Canberra PR3, WE139, was piloted by Flt Lt Burton and his crew, who flew the plane from the United Kingdom to New Zealand and back, covering a distance of over 22,000 miles (35,400 kilometers) in just under 10 days. Their victory in the race was a significant achievement, demonstrating the Canberra PR3's capabilities as a long-range, high-speed aircraft. This photograph captures a moment of triumph and pride for Flt Lt Burton and his crew, as they celebrate their victory and showcase their winning aircraft to the public at Heathrow Airport. The English Electric Canberra PR3, WE139, remains an iconic symbol of aviation history, representing the ingenuity and determination of its designers and pilots.
