EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the spirit of the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) during the final stages of World War One, as seen through the eyes of the Royal Air Force Museum's collection. The image features Short 184 of 209 Training Depot Station (TDS) based at Lee-on-Solent, in England, in 1918. Short 184 is a Sopwith Camel, a biplane fighter aircraft that was one of the most iconic and successful designs of the war. Its distinctive shape and distinctive sound became synonymous with the RFC and the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS), which merged to form the RAF in April 1918. The photograph shows Short 184 being prepared for a training mission, with ground crew members working diligently to ensure the aircraft is in top condition. The scene is set against the backdrop of a bustling airfield, with other aircraft and hangars visible in the distance. The mood is one of purpose and determination, as the Allied forces pressed on in their efforts to bring an end to the conflict. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who served in the RFC and RNAS during World War One. It also highlights the important role that the RAF Museum plays in preserving the history of the RAF and the aviation industry as a whole. This photograph is not only a valuable historical record but also a testament to the courage and ingenuity of those who flew and maintained the aircraft that helped shape the skies of the 20th century.
