The Short Belfast - 10 aircraft that saw service with the RAF over just 10 years, from 1966 until 1976. The same reorganization that would see the end of the Britannia and Comet also spelled the end for the Belfast, which at the time had been the RAF’s largest aircraft in service #warbirds #coldwar #coldwarhistory #short #belfast | Daniel J Wheatcroft

The Short Belfast entered service with the RAF the same year as the Hercules but was retired in 1976. The Hercules remained in service until 2023 – what was so special about it? #aviation #aircraft #airplane #aviationlovers #fyp | AvPay.aero
