EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the excitement and skill of the Avro Tutor aircraft of the Central Flying School (CFS) as they rehearse for the Royal Air Force (RAF) Display at Hendon in 1937. The interwar period was a time of great innovation and expansion for the RAF, and the CFS played a crucial role in training the pilots who would go on to defend the skies of Britain during the Second World War. The Avro Tutor, a biplane trainer aircraft, was a mainstay of the CFS fleet during this time. Its open cockpit and fabric-covered wings give it a classic, timeless look, while the determined expressions and focused body language of the pilots in this photograph attest to the rigorous training they were undergoing. The formation flying on display is a testament to the pilots' teamwork and precision, as they maneuver their aircraft in perfect sync with one another. The RAF Display at Hendon was an annual event that showcased the latest aircraft and techniques of the RAF to the public. It was an opportunity for the service to demonstrate its capabilities and to inspire the next generation of pilots. The Avro Tutor's participation in the display was a testament to its importance as a training aircraft and to the vital role the CFS played in preparing pilots for service. Charles E. Brown, the photographer, captured this moment with a keen eye for composition and a deep understanding of the drama and excitement of aviation. The photograph is a reminder of the rich history of the RAF and the crucial role that training played in its success. Today, the Avro Tutor and other historic aircraft from this era can be found at the RAF Museum, where they continue to inspire and educate visitors about the history of military aviation.
