EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, showcasing the 35 Motor Boat (153) of the Royal Air Force gracefully navigating the river at Basrah, Iraq in 1939. The image, expertly captured by Charles E Brown, transports us back to the interwar period when RAF marine craft played a crucial role in safeguarding national security. The boat itself stands as a symbol of power and resilience, proudly displaying its RAF insignia against the backdrop of calm waters. Its sleek design and impeccable craftsmanship are evident even from this black-and-white print. One can only imagine the sense of pride felt by those who served on board this vessel during such uncertain times. As we delve into this historical snapshot, it becomes apparent that there is more than meets the eye. Beyond its aesthetic appeal lies an untold story of bravery and dedication exhibited by these servicemen who patrolled these rivers with unwavering commitment. This photograph serves as a reminder of their invaluable contributions to protecting our nation's interests abroad. Preserved within the archives of Royal Air Force Museum, this print not only commemorates an era but also pays tribute to all those who have selflessly served in defense forces throughout history. It invites us to reflect upon their sacrifices while appreciating both the artistry behind capturing such moments and the technological advancements that have shaped naval warfare over time.
