On 1 July 1960, a United States RB-47H reconnaissance plane was shot down by the Soviet Air Defence Forces while performing signals intelligence in the Barents Sea, near the Kola Peninsula, off the Arctic coast of the Soviet Union.
Four of the six crew members died.
The shootdown occurred exactly two months after the far better known U-2 shootdown involving Francis Gary Powers, and added to the tensions created by that incident.

The Budd RB-1 Conestoga was a twin-engine, stainless steel cargo aircraft designed for the United States Navy during World War II by the Budd Company of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Although it did not see service in a combat theater, it pioneered design innovations in American cargo aircraft, later incorporated in modern military cargo airlifters.

The City of Norwich Aviation Museum is a volunteer-run museum and charitable trust dedicated to the preservation of the aviation history of the county of Norfolk, England.
The museum is located on the northern edge of Norwich International Airport and is reached by road through the village of Horsham St Faith.
The museum welcomed its newest exhibit in October 2020 when it received EI-RJN, a 21-year old Avro RJ-85, formerly operated by CityJet.

The Martin RB-57D Canberra was a specialized high-altitude strategic reconnaissance aircraft developed from the Martin B-57 Canberra tactical bomber, a license-built version of the English Electric Canberra.
It was used by the United States Air Force during the 1950s prior to operational use of the Lockheed U-2.

The Rolls-Royce RB.183 Tay is a medium-bypass turbofan engine, developed from the RB.183 Mk 555 Spey core and using a fan scaled directly from the Rolls-Royce RB.211-535E4 to produce versions with a bypass ratio of 3.1:1 or greater.
The IP compressor and LP turbine were designed using technology from the RB.211 programme.
The engine was first run in August 1984.
The Tay 650 had a new HP turbine which incorporated new technology which had been proven with the RB.211-535E4.
This engine also had a new combustor for improved durability.
The Tay family is used on a number of airliners and larger business jets, including the Gulfstream IV family, Fokker 70 and Fokker 100, with a later version being used to re-engine Boeing 727-100s.

Robot 08 was a Swedish anti-ship missile.
It was the first operational ship-based anti-ship missiles.
The design was a development of the French Nord Aviation CT20 target missile and was manufactured by Saab.
The project to develop the weapon was initiated in the 1950s and the missile entered service in 1966 aboard the Halland-class destroyers, later also serving with the Swedish Coastal Artillery.
Guidance was via radio command and active radar homing.
The missile was replaced by the RBS-15, being retired in 1995.
