EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, Princess Mary, the Countess of Harewood and the youngest daughter of King George V and Queen Mary, is seen leaving the newly-opened RAF Hospital and Nurses' Quarters at Halton, Buckinghamshire, in 1927. The Princess, who served as the Honorary Air Commodore of the Women's Royal Air Force (WRAF), is dressed in a smart military coat and hat, with a determined expression on her face as she prepares to depart. The Princess had arrived at the hospital earlier that day to inspect the facilities and meet with the staff and patients. The RAF Hospital at Halton was a state-of-the-art medical centre, designed to provide advanced care for the RAF personnel and their families. The Nurses' Quarters, which were also inspected by the Princess, offered comfortable accommodation for the nursing staff. The photograph captures a moment of transition, as the Princess bids farewell to the hospital and its inhabitants. The scene is filled with a sense of purpose and dedication, reflecting the Princess's commitment to the welfare of the RAF community. The aeronautical backdrop, with planes visible in the background, underscores the connection between the Princess and the world of flight and aeronautics. The photograph is a testament to the important role that the Royal Family played in the early history of the RAF, and the Princess's personal involvement in supporting the organisation's personnel and their families. The image is a valuable historical record, offering a glimpse into the past and the evolving relationship between the monarchy and the military.
