EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the sleek lines and imposing presence of an English Electric Canberra T.17 WK111 (EA) of the Royal Air Force's No.360 Squadron, as it prepares for electronic counter measures training and simulation exercises in the late 1970s or early 1980s. The Canberra T.17 was a variant of the English Electric Canberra jet bomber, which first entered service with the RAF in the late 1950s. By the 1970s, many of the bomber versions had been retired, but the versatile Canberra design continued in service with various roles, including electronic warfare and reconnaissance. In this image, the Canberra T.17 wears the distinctive markings of No.360 Squadron, which was based at RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire. The squadron was known for its expertise in electronic counter measures (ECM), using a range of equipment to disrupt enemy radar and communication systems. The Canberra T.17 was an essential component of this capability, providing a platform for training and simulation exercises that helped RAF personnel stay at the forefront of ECM technology. The photograph captures the Canberra T.17 as it taxis along the runway, its powerful jet engines emitting plumes of smoke and steam. The aircraft's distinctive shape and angular wings are accentuated by the low angle of the photograph, while the grey sky and barren runway create a sense of isolation and focus. The image is a testament to the RAF's commitment to maintaining its technological edge in the face of evolving threats, and to the enduring appeal of the Canberra as a versatile and iconic aircraft.
