EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the essence of Wroughton Airfield, located in Swindon, with its rich history and remarkable features. The image showcases a sprawling landscape that is both awe-inspiring and thought-provoking. In the foreground, we see an expansive hangar standing tall against the backdrop of lush green fields. This hangar has witnessed countless moments of innovation and scientific breakthroughs throughout its existence. Its sheer size hints at the magnitude of discoveries made within its walls. The airfield itself stretches out beyond the hangar, revealing a vast expanse where dreams took flight. It serves as a reminder of humanity's relentless pursuit to conquer the skies and explore new frontiers. The intricate network of runways crisscrossing through this open space tells tales of daring pilots who once soared through these very skies. As we gaze upon this photograph, our imagination takes flight alongside those historic aircraft that once graced these runways. We can almost hear their engines roaring and feel their presence reverberating through time. Damian Grady's skillful composition allows us to appreciate not only the physical beauty but also the historical significance embodied by Wroughton Airfield. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity and resilience—a place where science met aviation head-on, propelling us into an era defined by progress and exploration. This print from Historic England invites us to reflect on our collective journey towards understanding our world better while reminding us that even in stillness, there is always movement—
