EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic moment when a De Havilland Mosquito gracefully takes off from Liverpool Airport. After undergoing an extensive rebuilding process, this remarkable aircraft is now in flying condition and ready to star in the film "633 Squadron". The De Havilland Mosquito, known for its innovative construction using mainly wood, was first introduced in November 1940. Its unique design allowed for efficient prefabrication and production across war-torn Britain during World War II. By September 1941, the Mosquito was already making significant contributions to various theaters of war with its versatility. Preserved at the esteemed De Havilland Museum Salisbury Hall in Hertfordshire, this particular aircraft holds great historical significance as it represents both the design and manufacturing hub of these incredible planes. The year captured by this print is 1968. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when aviation played a pivotal role in shaping history. The sight of this majestic Mosquito taking flight evokes feelings of admiration for those who built and flew these extraordinary machines during times of conflict. Charley Owens has masterfully captured not only an exquisite moment but also pays homage to the legacy of aviation through his lens. This photograph serves as a reminder that even amidst chaos and destruction, human ingenuity can soar above all obstacles.
