Avro Chile Lincoln Mawgan Prepared
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of preparation for a historic flight of Avro Lincoln B2 RF483 at RAF St Mawgan in Cornwall, England. The Avro Lincoln, a British four-engine heavy bomber and maritime patrol aircraft, was a formidable presence during World War II and post-war military service. RF483, specifically, was modified for transport duties and was assigned to the Royal Air Force's No. 10 Squadron. In this image, ground crew members meticulously check and prepare the aircraft for its long-haul journey to Chile. The Lincoln's powerful engines are inspected, fuel is loaded, and various systems are tested. The crew's focus is palpable as they work efficiently to ensure the safety and readiness of the aircraft for its upcoming mission. The backdrop of RAF St Mawgan, with its rugged Cornish landscape, adds to the sense of adventure and anticipation. The Lincoln, with its distinctive silhouette and imposing size, stands proudly against the grey sky, ready to embark on its next chapter. This photograph is a testament to the dedication and expertise of the RAF ground crew and the enduring legacy of the Avro Lincoln as a versatile and capable aircraft. The journey to Chile would mark the beginning of a new chapter for RF483, as it continued to serve its country and contribute to various military operations around the world.
