EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Royal Air Force (RAF) de Havilland DH.104 Devon C.2 aircraft, registration number VP976, in its prime during the 1980s. The Devon, a versatile twin-engine transport plane, was a vital asset to the RAF's fleet, capable of carrying out various roles including troop transport, medical evacuation, and cargo transport. The image captures the Devon's distinctive features, such as its twin engines, high-wing configuration, and large cargo door. The RAF roundel and serial number proudly adorn the fuselage, adding to its military identity. The backdrop of the image, with its lush greenery and clear blue sky, highlights the Devon's sleek lines and elegant design. Unfortunately, the end of the 1980s marked the retirement of the Devon from RAF service. VP976, along with many other Devon aircraft, was eventually scrapped at RAF Northolt in 1994. Despite its demise, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the important role the Devon played in the RAF's transport fleet during the 1980s. The Devon's legacy continues to live on, however, as a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of aeronautical engineering during this era.
