EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a Dassault Mystère 20 TR-KHA, also known as the Dassault Falcon 20D TR-KHA (msn 225), sits proudly on the tarmac at London Heathrow Airport during the 1970s. The Gabonese Government VIP transport unit's aircraft, with its distinctive red, green, and yellow livery, exudes an air of elegance and power. The Dassault Mystère 20 TR-KHA was a military transport and VIP transport variant of the successful Dassault Mystère 20 fighter aircraft. This particular model, registered as 5V-GAB, was manufactured in France and delivered to Gabon in the early 1970s. The Gabonese Government VIP transport unit operated this aircraft to transport high-ranking officials and dignitaries, ensuring their safe and comfortable travel both domestically and internationally. Heathrow Airport, one of the world's busiest airports at the time, served as a crucial hub for international travel. The presence of the Dassault Mystère 20 TR-KHA at this prestigious location underscores its significance as a symbol of Gabon's political power and influence during this era. The aircraft's sleek design, with its distinctive tail fin and winglets, is a testament to the advanced aeronautical engineering of the time. The Dassault Falcon 20 series, which includes the TR-KHA model, is renowned for its versatility, performance, and reliability. This photograph captures a moment in history when aviation technology and diplomacy intersected, providing a glimpse into the world of international politics and transportation. This photograph, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique and intriguing insight into the history of aviation and the role of VIP transport aircraft in shaping global connections.
