EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Handley Page HP67 Hastings C2, WD493 of No114 Squadron as it taxis along the tarmac, ready for takeoff. The Hastings was a versatile British transport aircraft, designed and manufactured by Handley Page Aircraft Company, and served with the Royal Air Force (RAF) during the post-World War II era. The Hastings, with its distinctive twin-engine configuration and distinctive hump-backed fuselage, was a popular choice for RAF transport squadrons due to its ability to carry large payloads over long distances. In this image, we see the aircraft adorned with the distinctive roundel and markings of No114 Squadron, adding to its historic significance. The Hastings played a crucial role in the RAF's transport operations, providing vital support to troops and supplies during peacetime and in various conflicts around the world. This photograph is a testament to the aircraft's enduring legacy and the important role it played in the history of military aviation. The image also serves as a reminder of the dedication and hard work of the RAF personnel who operated these aircraft, ensuring the safe and efficient transportation of personnel and cargo to where it was needed most. The Hastings may no longer be in service, but its memory lives on through images like this one.
