EDITORS COMMENTS
"This striking photograph captures HRH The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, in the prestigious uniform of Marshal of the Royal Air Force, as he stands next to a sleek aeroplane in 1966. The Duke, who was born on June 10, 1921, in Corfu, Greece, joined the Royal Navy in 1939 and saw active service during World War II. After the war, he went on to become an accomplished helicopter and seaplane pilot. In 1952, he married HRH Queen Elizabeth II and has been her consort ever since. In 1966, The Prince Philip was appointed Honorary President of the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS) and the Honorary President of the Royal Aero Club (HonFRAeS), two prestigious organizations in the field of aviation. The Marshal of the Royal Air Force is an honorary position, and The Prince Philip was the first person to hold this title. The Duke's love for aviation was evident in his long-standing involvement with the RAF and the aviation industry. In this photograph, he is seen in the prime of his life, exuding confidence and authority in his uniform, as he stands next to a transport plane. The year 1966 marked a significant milestone in The Prince Philip's career, and this photograph is a testament to his enduring passion for aviation and his dedication to the Royal Air Force." This image is a historical record of a significant moment in the life of HRH The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, and is a valuable addition to any collection of aviation or royal history. It is a rights-managed photograph, and any use of it requires a license from Mary Evans Picture Library.
