EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the 1957 SBAC Farnborough Air Show, a Gloster Javelin F(AW)7 fighter jet proudly displays de Havilland Firestreak air-to-air missiles mounted on its wings. The sleek and powerful Javelin, with the serial numbers XH710 or XH714, was a formidable presence at the show, showcasing the cutting-edge technology of the time. The de Havilland Firestreak missiles, visible in the foreground, were a significant advancement in air combat technology. These missiles were designed to be fired from the wings of combat aircraft and were guided by infra-red homing systems. They were a crucial addition to the Javelin's arsenal, providing it with the ability to engage and destroy enemy aircraft at a safe distance. In the background of the photograph, two other aircraft can be seen, adding to the vibrant atmosphere of the air show. The Blackburn YA-7 WB781 or Blackburn YA-8 WB877 are partially obscured, but their presence is a testament to the diverse range of aircraft on display at the event. Despite their visibility, it is impossible to determine which of the two Blackburn aircraft is present in the photograph. This photograph captures a moment in aviation history when innovation and technology were at the forefront of military aviation. The de Havilland Firestreak missiles and the Gloster Javelin represented the future of air combat, and this photograph serves as a reminder of the excitement and wonder that surrounded the aviation industry during this era.
