1. Title: GAF N.22B Nomad VH-AUH at the 1978 Farnborough Airshow Caption: This photograph captures the Government Aircraft Factories (GAF) N.22B Nomad, registration VH-AUH (msn 4), during the SBAC Farnborough Airshow held from the 3rd to the 10th of September 1978. The image showcases the versatile and agile Nomad aircraft, which was a significant contribution to the Australian aviation industry. The GAF Nomad, a twin-engine, short takeoff and landing (STOL) transport aircraft, was designed and manufactured by Government Aircraft Factories in Australia. The N.22B variant, specifically, was an upgraded version of the original N.21 Nomad, featuring improved engines and avionics. The photograph was taken during the prestigious Farnborough Airshow, an international aerospace event that showcases the latest advancements in flight technology. The presence of the GAF Nomad at the show highlighted Australia's growing capabilities in aeronautical engineering and aircraft manufacturing. VH-AUH, with its distinctive blue and white livery, is seen parked on the tarmac, surrounded by various other aircraft from around the world. The Nomad's unique design, with its high-mounted wings and large tail, is evident in this image, as is its robust and sturdy appearance. The GAF Nomad was primarily used by the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) for various roles, including transport, maritime patrol, and surveillance. Its short takeoff and landing capabilities made it an ideal choice for operating from unimproved runways in remote areas, making it an essential asset for Australia's vast and diverse terrain. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the history of Australian aviation and the important role that the GAF Nomad played in it. The image is part of The Peter Butt Aviation Collection, available through Mary Evans Prints Online.
