EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken from the archives of Historic England's Aerofilms Collection, showcases the 601 Squadron in the midst of practice sessions for an RAF air display in June 1931. The six Westland Wapiti Mk.IIA bombers, with their distinctive biplane configuration and open cockpits, gracefully ascend into the sky, leaving a trail of vapor in their wake. The Westland Wapiti Mk.IIA, a versatile aircraft that served in the Royal Air Force from 1928 to 1942, was a popular choice for both training and light bomber roles. Its introduction marked the beginning of a new era in aviation technology, and its sleek design and robust performance made it a formidable presence in the skies. This photograph holds historical significance, as it offers a glimpse into the early days of the Royal Air Force and the evolution of military aviation. Moreover, it is an intriguing prelude to the establishment of the Indian Air Force in 1933, which initially acquired its first four aircraft, identical to those seen here, to fortify its fledgling air power. The Wapiti Mk.IIA's legacy extends beyond military applications, as it paved the way for the development of more advanced aircraft and set the stage for the future of aviation technology. This photograph, a testament to the past, serves as a reminder of the ingenuity and innovation that has shaped the world of aviation and continues to inspire new generations of pilots, engineers, and aviation enthusiasts.
