EDITORS COMMENTS
A Dassault Falcon 20 aircraft soars gracefully over the picturesque city of Durham, leaving a trail of awe and inspiration in its wake. This print captures a significant moment in history when FR Aviation of Teesside Airport played a pivotal role in bolstering Britain's air defences. Tasked with testing the Royal Air Force's ability to repulse attacks, FR Aviation worked closely with the Ministry of Defence to train RAF ground personnel from Tornado Interceptor squadrons. Their fleet consisted of six remarkable Dassault Falcon 20 aircraft, each equipped with cutting-edge radar jamming technology. The year was 1996, and this snapshot freezes time as it showcases the sheer power and sophistication of military aviation during that era. The sleek jet effortlessly cuts through the sky, symbolizing both strength and precision. This image is not just about an aircraft; it represents dedication, expertise, and unwavering commitment to national security. It serves as a reminder that behind every successful defence system lies countless hours of training and meticulous preparation.
