EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph by Damian Grady showcases the historic Greenham Common in West Berkshire. Once a bustling RAF and USAF airfield, this site holds significant military importance. The image beautifully captures the vastness of the airfield, stretching out as far as the eye can see. Intriguingly, to one side of the airfield lies the GAMA Complex, which housed cruise missile storage bunkers during its operational years from 1942 to 1993. These bunkers were an integral part of Cold War defense strategies and serve as a reminder of past conflicts and tensions. The print allows us to appreciate both the scale and historical significance of Greenham Common. It offers viewers a unique perspective on an important piece of British military history that played a crucial role in shaping global events. Damian Grady's skillful composition highlights not only the architectural elements but also emphasizes how nature has reclaimed parts of this once-bustling airfield over time. The juxtaposition between man-made structures and natural surroundings creates a thought-provoking visual narrative. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are reminded of our collective past while contemplating how such places have evolved over time. This photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity, resilience, and our ever-changing relationship with landscapes that bear witness to significant historical moments.
