EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Royal Air Force (RAF) Scottish Aviation Jetstream T.1 XX496 / D (msn 276 P/N 69) of No. 45 (R) Squadron, parked at RAF Brize Norton on 6 May 2002. The Jetstream T.1, a versatile and agile turboprop aircraft, was manufactured by Hawker Siddeley and is a variant of the civil Jetstream 3100. This particular aircraft, bearing the registration number XX496, was a key asset in the RAF's transport fleet. No. 45 (R) Squadron, also known as the "Flying Scotsmen," is an RAF Reserve unit based at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire, England. The squadron has a rich history, tracing its origins back to 1936, and has seen active service in various conflicts, including World War II and the Falklands War. The Jetstream T.1 served the RAF from the late 1960s until its retirement in 2009. It was primarily used for navigation training, air-to-air refueling, and transport duties. This photograph captures the aircraft in its natural habitat, showcasing its distinctive livery and the pristine condition of the aircraft. This image holds historical significance, as it was taken just a few years before the retirement of the Jetstream T.1 from RAF service. It serves as a reminder of the important role this aircraft played in the RAF's transport fleet and the contributions of the No. 45 (R) Squadron to the organization. The Jetstream T.1 made several appearances at air shows and events, including the Royal International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford in 2004, where it was a popular attraction among aviation enthusiasts. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of these aircraft and the dedication of the men and women who operated them.
