EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Vickers Varsity T.1 WJ886 23, a versatile twin-engine turboprop aircraft, as it gracefully touches down at RAF Little Rissington on 1 August 1970. Located in the heart of the Cotswolds, RAF Little Rissington is the highest active airfield in the British Isles, reaching an impressive altitude of 223 metres (732 ft) Above Mean Sea Level (AMSL). The Royal Air Force's Central Flying School (CFS) was based at this site, making it a hub for advanced aviation training. The Varsity T.1, manufactured by Vickers-Armstrongs, was a popular choice for the RAF due to its ability to perform various roles, including navigation training, maritime patrol, and electronic warfare. With its twin engines and high-wing configuration, this aircraft offered excellent stability and visibility for its pilots and trainees. On this particular day in 1970, the Varsity T.1 WJ886 23, adorned with its distinctive markings, made its approach to RAF Little Rissington, ready to contribute to the ongoing training efforts of the Central Flying School. The serene landscape surrounding the airfield, combined with the pristine condition of the aircraft, creates a striking contrast that encapsulates the harmony between man and machine in the realm of aviation.
