RAF Firefighters and Crewmen with Avro York PE108, 1949

A striking black and white archive photograph from 1949 showing RAF crewmen and firefighters gathered beside Avro York PE108, a large four-engined transport aircraft. Dressed in service clothing and standing on the airport apron, the group creates a compelling portrait of postwar aviation and the people who kept the airfield moving.

PE108 was the very last Avro York transport aircraft built for the Royal Air Force, completed in April 1948. Derived from the Avro Lancaster heavy bomber, the York was a four-engined British transport aircraft, and PE108 marked the final delivery from the RAF's Avro York production order.

Although production ended in 1948, Avro York aircraft continued to serve in military and civilian roles into the 1950s. This gives the 1949 photograph a particular place in early postwar aviation history, capturing both the people around the aircraft and an important moment in the story of RAF transport.

Part of the Donald Innes Heritage Collection, the original image has been lovingly restored by his son Ivor and the team at Innes, then brought back to life on beautiful fine art canvas. At 40 × 30 inches, the generous scale gives the photograph room to breathe and makes it a striking piece for a living room, study or office.
