Soaring cleanly against a deep blue sky, this original colour photograph features the brilliantly liveried BAC 1-11 XX105, operated by the Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE). With its distinctive red, white and yellow test scheme and clear “Royal Aircraft Establishment” fuselage titling, this aircraft served as a vital airborne laboratory in the development of British aviation technology during the Cold War and beyond.
Professionally printed on Fujicolor Crystal Archive Paper, this 6 x 4 inch original photograph is not a reproduction, but a genuine photographic record of this iconic research platform in action. Signs of prior archival use are visible on the reverse (small tape residue and numbering), but it remains in decent collector-grade condition, having passed full internal QC. The aircraft registration XX105 is clearly visible, making this an identifiable and highly collectible example of RAE flight testing heritage.
Ideal for collectors of British experimental aircraft, Cold War aviation development, or the BAC 1-11 series, this photo offers a rare chance to own a tangible link to the cutting edge of British aerospace innovation. Aircraft like XX105 helped shape the flight systems, control surfaces, and technologies used in both military and civil aviation to this day.
