EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts a Nord 2501D Noratlas transport plane of the Portuguese Air Force, registration number 6416, during the International Air Tattoo event held at Greenham Common on 25th June 1977. The Noratlas, a versatile and robust aircraft, was manufactured by Nord Aviation in France and was widely used by various military forces for transporting troops, cargo, and even medical evacuation. The image captures the Noratlas in its element, with its distinctive blue and white Portuguese Air Force livery gleaming under the British summer sun. The aircraft's powerful engines are visible, ready to propel it to its next destination. In the background, the lush greenery of Greenham Common provides a picturesque contrast to the industrial might of the Noratlas. The International Air Tattoo, an annual military airshow held at Greenham Common, attracted aviation enthusiasts and military personnel from around the world. The event showcased a diverse range of aircraft, from helicopters to jets, and provided an opportunity for the public to witness the capabilities of these remarkable machines up close. This photograph, taken by an unidentified photographer, is a testament to the rich history of military aviation and the enduring allure of aircraft like the Noratlas. It transports us back to a time when the skies were filled with the sounds and sights of powerful aircraft, and where the thrill of aviation was a shared experience for all.
