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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePE108 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack and white archive photograph by Donald Innes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRAF firefighters and crewmen beside Avro York PE108\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePE108, the last Avro York transport aircraft built for the RAF\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour-engined transport derived from the Avro Lancaster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrinted on fine art canvas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 40 × 30in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiscover more from the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/donald-innes-heritage-prints\"\u003eDonald Innes Heritage Prints collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Donald Innes Heritage Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58500957307263,"sku":"HeritageA490_4030canvas","price":450.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/2347\/8042\/files\/Innes_Heritage_RAF_Crewmen_And_Plane_1949_40x30in_Canvas_Print.jpg?v=1790247565","url":"https:\/\/www.innes.co.uk\/products\/innes-heritage-raf-crewmen-plane-1950s-40x30in-canvas-print","provider":"Innes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
