EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Blackburn B.2 G-AEBJ (msn 6300/8) at the RAF Hendon Milestones of Flight Exhibition in 1951. The Blackburn B.2, a versatile and advanced aircraft of its time, is seen here in all its glory, showcasing its sleek design and impressive engineering. The Blackburn B.2 was a British single-engine, two-seat, all-metal monoplane developed by the Blackburn Aircraft Company in the late 1940s. It was designed primarily as a fighter trainer, but its versatility made it suitable for various roles, including target towing and photo reconnaissance. The aircraft in this photograph, G-AEBJ, was one of the first production Blackburn B.2s and was delivered to the Royal Air Force (RAF) in 1950. It was later transferred to the RAF Central Flying School at RAF Henlow for use as a trainer. The Milestones of Flight Exhibition at RAF Hendon was a significant event in the aviation calendar, showcasing a wide range of historic aircraft and promoting the advancements in aeronautical engineering. The exhibition attracted thousands of visitors each year, providing an opportunity for the public to learn about the latest developments in aviation technology. This photograph captures the Blackburn B.2 G-AEBJ in its element, surrounded by the vibrant atmosphere of the exhibition. The image is a testament to the progress of aviation technology and the enduring appeal of historic aircraft.
