EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a piece of aviation history from circa 1968, showcasing the iconic Supermarine Spitfire LF Mk. XVIE TE184 M - EM in the RAF Museum Reserve Collection at RAF Finningley. Sandwiched between the sole surviving Boulton Paul Defiant and an Avro 707, this image is a testament to the evolution of flight technology.
The sleek design of the Spitfire, with its distinctive elliptical wings and powerful Rolls-Royce Merlin engine, symbolizes British ingenuity and courage during World War II. As one of the most famous fighter aircraft of all time, it played a crucial role in defending Britain against enemy forces.
Next to the Spitfire stands the unique Boulton Paul Defiant, a turret-armed fighter that was used by the Royal Air Force during WWII. Despite being overshadowed by other more successful aircraft designs, its presence in this collection serves as a reminder of innovation and experimentation in aviation.
Completing this trio is the Avro 707, representing advancements in jet-powered flight during this era. Together, these three aircraft tell a story of progress and perseverance in aviation history.
The Peter Butt Aviation Collection has captured a moment frozen in time with this stunning photograph – an homage to these remarkable flying machines that have left an indelible mark on our collective memory.
