EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Fairey Gordon of 14 Squadron RAF soars majestically above the tranquil waters of the River Jordan during the interwar period. Taken by renowned aviation photographer Charles E. Brown, this image captures a moment in time when the Royal Air Force (RAF) was at the forefront of aviation innovation and exploration. Fairey Gordon, named after its designer, was a single-seat biplane fighter aircraft that first flew in 1931. It was an advanced design for its time, featuring a retractable landing gear and a powerful Rolls-Royce engine. The aircraft was adopted by the RAF in 1933 and saw active service during the late 1930s, including a notable deployment to Palestine. This photograph, taken in 1936, shows Fairey Gordon in its element, with the sun casting long shadows over the landscape below. The pilot, clad in his flying gear and helmet, appears focused intently on the task at hand, while the River Jordan winds its way through the arid landscape, adding a sense of serenity to the scene. The RAF Museum, where this photograph is housed, is a testament to the rich history of the Royal Air Force, and this image of Fairey Gordon in flight over the River Jordan is a poignant reminder of the courage and innovation of the pilots and engineers who helped shape the future of aviation during the interwar period. This photograph is not only a historical document but also a work of art, capturing the beauty and grace of flight in a bygone era.
