EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Hawker Hunter F6s of No.92 Squadron, based at Middleton St. George, proudly display their distinctive red and yellow checkered markings as they form a tight formation in the clear summer sky of July 1960. Sqn. Ldr. R.H.B. Dixon and his team of skilled pilots, known as "The Falcons," represented that year's reserve aerobatic team of the Royal Air Force (RAF) Fighter Command. The squadron's emblem, featuring a cobra entwined around a maple leaf, is proudly displayed on the nose and under the tailplane of each aircraft. The motto, "Aut Pugna Aut Morere," which translates to "We fight or die," encapsulates the squadron's unwavering commitment to excellence and bravery. The Hawker Hunter F6, a versatile and powerful jet fighter, was a mainstay of the RAF's inventory during the post-World War II era. With its sleek lines and impressive agility, it was an ideal choice for aerobatic displays, showcasing the skill and precision of the pilots who flew them. The photograph captures a moment in time when the thrill of aviation and the pride of the RAF were at their zenith. The Hawker Hunters of No.92 Squadron, under the command of Sqn. Ldr. Dixon, stood as a testament to the enduring spirit of the Royal Air Force and its dedication to maintaining the highest standards of air power.
