EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Ron Burton, we are transported back to the 1960s on a heavy August Bank Holiday. The image showcases a determined motorist tirelessly attempting to repair his beloved MG sports car, while the chaotic traffic on the A20 rushes past him. As the sun shines down on this eventful day, it is evident that the holiday congestion has caused quite a jam and queue of vehicles along this popular route. The once smooth flow of cars has now come to an abrupt halt as frustrated drivers anxiously wait for their turn to move forward. Amidst all this chaos, our protagonist stands out with his determination and dedication towards fixing his cherished MG. With tools scattered around him and a focused expression on his face, he refuses to let the breakdown dampen his spirits. This snapshot perfectly encapsulates both the joys and challenges of embarking on road trips during bank holidays in that era. It serves as a nostalgic reminder of simpler times when people relied more heavily on their own mechanical skills rather than modern-day roadside assistance services. Ron Burton's photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also tells an intriguing story about perseverance amidst adversity. It invites us to reflect upon how far technology has advanced since then while appreciating those who were willing to go above and beyond for their passion for automobiles.
