EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a remarkable assembly of six generations of Royal Air Force (RAF) fighters, lined up prior to Coltishalls At Home day on the 20th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, held in September 1960. The Battle of Britain marked a pivotal moment in World War II, as the RAF successfully defended the United Kingdom against the large-scale attacks by the German Air Force. The photograph features an impressive collection of iconic aircraft that played significant roles in the defense of the country. From left to right, we see a Hawker Hurricane IIC, LF363, a Supermarine Spitfire PRXIX, PM631, a Gloster Meteor F8, WL164, a Hawker Hunter F6, XK136, a Gloster Javelin F(AW)9, XH894, and an English Electric Lightning F1, XM137. The Hawker Hurricane, represented here by the IIC variant, was a key fighter during the Battle of Britain, with its powerful armament and agility making it a formidable opponent. The Supermarine Spitfire, another legendary fighter, is represented by the PRXIX variant, which was an advanced version that saw combat during the Korean War. The Gloster Meteor, the world's first operational jet fighter, is shown as the F8 variant, which entered service in 1944. The Hawker Hunter, represented by the F6 variant, was a versatile jet fighter that served with the RAF from the late 1950s to the 1990s. The Gloster Javelin, an all-weather fighter interceptor, is shown as the F(AW)9 variant, which was in service from the late 1950s to the 1980s. Lastly, the English Electric Lightning, represented by the F1 variant, was a supersonic fighter interceptor that served with the RAF from the late 1950s to the 1990s. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of the RAF and the evolution of military aviation technology. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who defended the United Kingdom during the Battle of Britain and beyond.
