EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, the Royal Air Force Auster T.7 WE600 takes center stage at the RAF 50th anniversary show held at RAF Abingdon in 1968. Delivered to the Royal Air Force on May 25, 1951, this particular Auster T.7 aircraft, serial number WE600, was a significant addition to the British armed services' fleet. The Auster T.7 was a versatile and much-loved aircraft, renowned for its ability to perform various roles, including transport, training, and liaison duties. However, as technology advanced and the demands of the Royal Air Force evolved, WE600 was eventually relegated to ground training duties, assigned the registration number 7602M. Despite its retirement from active service, the historical significance of the Auster T.7 WE600 was not lost. In recognition of its important role in the RAF's history, the aircraft was preserved in the RAF Museum at RAF Cosford, where it remains a cherished reminder of the aeronautical achievements of the past. The image captures the essence of a bygone era in aviation history, with the sleek lines and distinctive shape of the Auster T.7 standing out against the backdrop of the RAF showground. The photograph serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of these aircraft and the vital role they played in the British armed services' transport and training capabilities. This photograph is an essential addition to any aviation or military history collection, offering a unique glimpse into the past and the evolution of the Royal Air Force's aircraft fleet. The Auster T.7 WE600's story is one of dedication, innovation, and preservation, and this photograph is a fitting tribute to its legacy.
