EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Avro Lincoln Mk 30 A-73-27, a historic aviation icon, as it found new life after its retirement from the Royal Australian Air Force (RAF) in 1962. The Avro Lincoln, a versatile British-designed heavy bomber and maritime patrol aircraft, served valiantly during World War II and beyond. Following its military service, A-73-27 was repurposed for a unique role at Mascot Airport in Sydney, Australia. Instead of soaring through the skies, it took on a new mission as a vital asset for the airport's firefighting team. The aircraft's size and power made it an ideal platform for fighting fires on the ground, providing essential support to ensure the safety of both passengers and aircraft. In this image, we see the Avro Lincoln Mk 30 A-73-27 proudly displaying its RAF markings, a testament to its storied past. The aircraft's powerful engines and imposing presence are still evident, even in its new role. The photograph captures a moment in aviation history, where a legendary aircraft continues to serve and protect, long after its days in the sky. This photograph, taken in 1962, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the versatility and enduring legacy of the Avro Lincoln. It serves as a reminder that even after retirement, aircraft like the Avro Lincoln Mk 30 A-73-27 can continue to make a significant impact on our world.
