The Handley Page Hastings receives a quick dust at the RAF Midlands this morning 🧹🧽
The Hastings replaced the Avro York as the Royal Air Force’s standard long-range transport from 1948. Two squadrons of the new aircraft served alongside the York throughout the Berlin Airlift (Operation ‘Plainfare’), flying vital supplies into the city during the Soviet blockade.
From 1950, nineteen aircraft were converted for weather reconnaissance and flew in this role until the mid-1960s. Of these, eight became Hastings T5s, providing radar training for bomb-aimers at the Bomber Command Bombing School from 1959. By 1967 the Hastings had left first-line service, with the delivery of Hercules and Argosy transports. The last four served with the Radar Flight of No.230 Operational Conversion Unit (unofficially known as ‘1066 Squadron’) until 30 June 1977.
After taking care of family and friends, will you consider leaving a gift in your Will to us? Every gift, small or large, helps keep the Royal Air Force Museum flying.
Thanks to our partnership with Remember a Charity, we are now able to offer our supporters a free Will writing service through Bequeathed for Remember a Charity Week.

Our current London art exhibition ‘In Air and Fire: War Artists, the Battle of Britain and the Blitz’ will be closing its doors to the public on 27 February.
In this short film art historian and novelist Dr Alicia Foster discusses women war artists, their struggle for recognition and the subjects they depicted.
Only around 10 percent of war artists whose works were commissioned or selectively purchased by Sir Kenneth Clark’s War Artists’ Advisory Committee were women.
Our exhibition seeks to address this with half of the display devoted to women’s war art – works acquired for the nation by the WAAC, as well as produced independently and privately. Such artists include Dame Laura Knight, Doris Zinkeisen, Eve Kirk, Olga Lehmann, Elva Blacker, Rachel Reckitt and Mary Viola Paterson. Interview by Curator Julia Beaumont-Jones.
