EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a Vickers Vernon J7143 of 45 Squadron soars through the skies above Hinaidi Airfield in Iraq. The Vickers Vernon, a versatile British aircraft, was primarily used during the interwar period and into the early years of World War II for various roles including transport, mail delivery, and, as seen here, as an ambulance plane. The image captures the plane in its element, with the arid Iraqi landscape stretching out below, dotted with small settlements and winding rivers. The sun casts a warm glow over the scene, illuminating the intricate details of the aircraft's design. The Vickers Vernon's distinctive shape, with its high-mounted wings and streamlined fuselage, is a testament to the advanced engineering of the time. As a member of 45 Squadron, J7143 would have played a crucial role in the transportation of wounded soldiers and medical supplies during the military campaigns in the Middle East. The squadron, which was formed in 1912, saw action in both World War I and World War II, making this photograph a poignant reminder of the vital role that aviation played in the history of military medicine. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the history of aviation and the remarkable achievements of the engineers, pilots, and support personnel who made it possible. Today, this iconic aircraft serves as a symbol of the ingenuity and determination of those who came before us, paving the way for the advanced aircraft that continue to take to the skies.
