EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment of celebration and camaraderie among Students from No 6 Course of the Empire Test Pilots' School who completed their tours of the Avro factories on 15 and 16 December 1947. The group is seen enjoying a cocktail before dinner at an undisclosed location. Among the students are, from left to right: Sqn Ldr R.A. Watts, Flt Lt D.A. Dunlop, DSC, DFC, A.K. Cooke, Avro Test Pilot, Sqn Ldr K.J. Sewell, AFC, DFM, Tutor-Flying ETPS, Lt R.H. Reynolds, DSC, and Flt Lt G.S. Chandler. The students' visit to the Avro factories marked the culmination of a series of tours to various aircraft manufacturers, providing them with an invaluable opportunity to gain firsthand knowledge of the latest aviation technology and innovations. The Avro factories, in particular, were renowned for producing some of the most advanced and iconic aircraft of the era, including the Avro Lancaster and the Avro Vulcan. The relaxed atmosphere of the photograph belies the intense and rigorous training these students underwent at the Empire Test Pilots' School, which prepared them for the demanding role of test pilots in the Royal Air Force. The presence of Avro's Chief Test Pilot, J.M. Orrell, in the photograph underscores the importance of these visits in fostering collaboration and knowledge-sharing between the students and the aircraft industry.
