Gulf War Operation Desert Storm. An RAF Tornado F3 fighter taxi
Gulf War Operation Desert Storm. An RAF Tornado F3 fighter taxis in in front of a USAF Galaxy transport aircraft in Dhahran
An RAF Tornado F3 fighter/bomber taxis in preparation for take-off. Behind it, one of the massive United States Air Force Galaxy transport craft waits for its next flight. RAF pilots will always have a lot to live up to after their predecessors fought so bravely during the Battle of Britain. Those who flew during the Gulf War didn t let the side down. The RAF developed a tactic of bombing Iraqi airfields from a height of only 33 yards. Their counterparts in the USAF described the tactic as suicidal and moved to get the RAF to employ laser-guided bombing systems. Despite the flaws in tactics however, no-one could ever doubt the bravery of those Tornado pilots who unquestioningly flew those missions and litterally looked down the barrels of the Iraqi guns

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment during the Gulf War Operation Desert Storm. In the foreground, an RAF Tornado F3 fighter/bomber can be seen taxiing in preparation for take-off. Its sleek and powerful form exudes confidence and determination. Behind it, a colossal United States Air Force Galaxy transport aircraft patiently awaits its next mission. The image serves as a reminder of the immense bravery displayed by RAF pilots during this conflict. Drawing inspiration from their predecessors who fought valiantly in the Battle of Britain, these modern-day heroes fearlessly took to the skies to defend their nation's interests. During the Gulf War, RAF pilots adopted a daring tactic of bombing Iraqi airfields from an astonishingly low altitude of only 33 yards. This audacious approach was met with skepticism by their American counterparts in the USAF, who deemed it suicidal. Consequently, efforts were made to convince the RAF to employ laser-guided bombing systems instead. However flawed their tactics may have been perceived at times, there is no denying that these Tornado pilots demonstrated unwavering courage as they flew perilous missions directly into harm's way – staring down enemy guns without hesitation. This remarkable photograph not only commemorates those who served but also pays tribute to all members of both air forces involved in this historic conflict – reminding us of their selflessness and dedication throughout one of history's most intense aerial battles.
