EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of transfer from the French Air Force (Armee de l'Air) to the Patrouille de France, as Transall C-160F 61-ZF (msn F88) of FT.61 prepares to drop off essential support equipment at RAF Mildenhall in the early 1990s. The Transall C-160F, a versatile transport aircraft from the TRANSport ALLianz (TRANSall) family, is seen here in its distinctive camouflage livery. The Patrouille de France, the French Air Force's world-renowned aerobatic team, relied on the reliable and robust capabilities of the Transall C-160F to transport their equipment and personnel to various international air shows. The team's meticulously synchronized aerial displays showcased the excellence of French aviation and aeronautical engineering. In this image, the Transall C-160F, with the registration number 61-ZF, is seen hovering above RAF Mildenhall, ready to release its cargo. The parachutes attached to the support equipment can be seen billowing in the wind, signaling the imminent drop. The scene is a testament to the seamless coordination between the French Air Force and the Patrouille de France, as well as the vital role that transport aircraft play in the world of aviation and aeronautics. This photograph is part of The Tony Lovelock Collection, a comprehensive archive of aviation imagery from the past several decades. It offers a unique glimpse into the history of flight and the important role that transport aircraft, such as the Transall C-160F, play in supporting various aviation endeavors.
