EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, the sleek and powerful form of a Hawker Osprey III soars majestically above Alexandria harbour, its wings casting long, dramatic shadows on the tranquil waters below. The aircraft, identified as K3642 067, was a proud member of 447 Flight within the Royal Air Force's (RAF) Fleet Air Arm during the interwar period. The Hawker Osprey III was a advanced biplane fighter aircraft, designed and manufactured by the renowned British aircraft company Hawker Aircraft Ltd. This particular aircraft was delivered to the RAF in 1934 and saw active service in the Mediterranean during the late 1930s. The Osprey III was known for its impressive performance, boasting a top speed of over 200 miles per hour and a service ceiling of over 25,000 feet. The photograph, taken by the renowned aviation photographer Charles E. Brown, captures the Osprey III in its element, with the sun casting a warm glow on its metallic surface. The harbour and the city of Alexandria, with its distinctive architecture and bustling activity, provide a striking contrast to the aircraft's sleek lines and modern design. The RAF Museum's acquisition of this photograph is a testament to the important role that the Hawker Osprey III and the Fleet Air Arm played in the history of military aviation. This image not only serves as a reminder of the technological advancements of the interwar period but also as a tribute to the brave men and women who flew these magnificent machines. The photograph's timeless quality and the Osprey III's enduring legacy continue to captivate and inspire aviation enthusiasts and history buffs alike, making it an invaluable addition to the RAF Museum's collection.
