EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, HM King George VI (1895-1952) is seen leaving a de Havilland Flamingo transport aircraft during an inspection visit to the de Havilland aircraft factory on 15 August 1940. The King, dressed in the uniform of the Royal Air Force (RAF), exudes a sense of determination and resolve as he steps down the portable ladder from the aircraft, which was a popular choice for RAF transport and communication duties during World War II. The de Havilland Flamingo, with its distinctive streamlined design and distinctive red and silver livery, can be seen in the background, its engines idling as it waits for the monarch's departure. The King's visit to the factory was a morale-boosting gesture to the workers, who were working tirelessly to produce aircraft for the war effort. The photograph captures a moment of history, as the monarch, who had taken the throne in 1936 following the abdication of his brother King Edward VIII, shows his support for the RAF and the vital role it played in the defense of the United Kingdom during the dark days of the Second World War. The image is a poignant reminder of the close relationship between the monarchy and the armed forces, and the crucial role that the aeronautical industry played in the war effort.
