EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historic moment in aviation history, capturing the Blackburn Ripon of 462 Flight taking off from HMS Furious in 1930. The image, expertly captured by Charles E Brown, transports us back to the interwar period when the Royal Air Force and Royal Navy collaborated closely. As we gaze at this remarkable scene, we witness the convergence of two formidable forces: air and sea power. The mighty aircraft carrier serves as a launchpad for this magnificent biplane, symbolizing the strength and innovation of both the RAF and Fleet Air Arm. The Blackburn Ripon was an iconic aircraft that played a crucial role during this era. With its distinctive design and powerful engine, it became synonymous with naval operations. This particular photograph immortalizes one such moment where bravery met technology on board HMS Furious. Intriguingly composed against a backdrop of clear blue skies and shimmering waters, this image captures not only the sheer beauty of flight but also highlights the courage exhibited by these early aviators who fearlessly took to the skies above vast oceans. Preserved within the archives of Royal Air Force Museum, this print stands as a testament to our rich aviation heritage. It reminds us of how far we have come since those pioneering days while honoring those who paved the way for modern aerial warfare techniques.
