EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of aviation history at RAF Swanton Morley in June 1965. The image features two iconic aircraft of the era: Wallis WA.116/MC G-ARRT and Tiger Moth G-ANSP. The Wallis WA.116/MC, with the registration number G-ARRT, is seen parked to the left of the frame. This aircraft, with the manufacturing serial number 2, was a military version of the Waaspi, a light transport aircraft designed and built by Wallis Aircraft Ltd. The WA.116/MC was primarily used for training and liaison roles within the Royal Air Force (RAF). Its distinctive shape and tail design make it a striking presence in the photograph. To the right of the frame, the Tiger Moth G-ANSP is seen taxing towards the camera. This classic biplane, with its open cockpit and fabric-covered wings, is an icon of pre-war aviation. The Tiger Moth was originally designed and built by Hawker Aircraft for the RAF as a primary trainer, and its popularity continued long after the war, making it a favorite among aviation enthusiasts and pilots. The setting of RAF Swanton Morley, with its grass runway and hangars, adds to the authenticity of the scene. The photograph transports us back in time, allowing us to witness a moment in aviation history when these two remarkable aircraft were in service together. This photograph is part of The Peter Butt Aviation Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, a valuable archive that captures the rich history of aviation and flight.
