EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the GAF Jindivik Mk. 2 A92-68, belonging to the Royal Australian Air Force, on display at the prestigious SBAC Farnborough Air-show in September 1958. This particular target drone, with a serial number msn 48, was modified by Fairey in Hayes to Mk.103 standard for the RAF under the designation XN804. However, it is believed that Fairey decided to retain this aircraft as a reference aid rather than transferring it to the British military.
The sleek and futuristic design of the Jindivik Mk. 2 A92-68 is truly ahead of its time, showcasing cutting-edge technology and innovation in aviation engineering. Its presence at such a renowned air show highlights its significance in both military and aeronautical circles during this era.
As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history frozen in time, we are reminded of the incredible advancements made in flight and transportation over the years. The photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination to push boundaries beyond what was once thought possible.
The Peter Butt Aviation Collection has captured not just an image but a momentous occasion that will forever be etched in aviation history.
