EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, showcasing the arrival of chartered Boeing 707 jet airliners carrying hundreds of coloured immigrants from the West Indies to Britain. The image, taken on 22nd March 1962 at Gatwick Airport in West Sussex, England, portrays a diverse group disembarking from one of these flights. Amongst the crowd are women and men representing various ethnic backgrounds, including a striking black woman who stands out with her confident presence. This photograph symbolizes the multicultural fabric that was beginning to shape Britain during this era. It reflects both the challenges faced by racial minorities and their determination to seek better opportunities amidst changing immigration policies. The fashion choices depicted here also provide insight into the cultural identities of these immigrants. Their attire showcases elements influenced by their West Indian and Caribbean roots while adapting to British styles prevalent in the 1960s. As they step onto British soil, it is evident that this moment is filled with hope and anticipation for what lies ahead. These individuals were driven by aspirations for a brighter future while simultaneously racing against time before new legislation would potentially limit their chances of settling in Britain permanently. This powerful image serves as a reminder of an important chapter in race relations and immigration history within Britain—a testament to resilience, diversity, and the ongoing struggle for equality.
