EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Moment of Calm: The Help Desk of Port of Spain Airport, Trinidad, Late 1960s" In this evocative black-and-white photograph, we find ourselves in the empty waiting lounge of the BOAC (British Overseas Airways Corporation) Building at Port of Spain Airport, Trinidad, West Indies, during the late 1960s. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the history of air travel in the Caribbean. At the heart of the scene is a help desk, manned by a poised and attentive Afro-Caribbean woman. Her expression is calm and focused, her uniform crisp and modern. Despite the seemingly deserted surroundings, she remains vigilant, ready to assist any travelers who may soon arrive. The empty lounge, with its worn-out chairs and sparse decor, speaks to the quiet moments between flights, a brief respite before the next wave of passengers. The BOAC Building, a symbol of international connectivity, stands proudly in the background, its clean lines and minimalist design a testament to the modernity of the era. The image captures the essence of the Caribbean's rich cultural heritage, blending the vibrant energy of the region with the sophistication of global travel. This photograph offers a poignant reminder of the past, inviting us to reflect on the history of air travel and the people who have made it possible. It serves as a testament to the resilience and warmth of the Caribbean people, who have welcomed travelers from around the world for generations. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the power of travel to connect us to new places, people, and experiences, and the importance of the individuals who make that journey possible.
