EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the Battle of Britain Week in 1956, at The RAF Leconfield. The image captures a general view of the airfield, showcasing aircraft ready to take flight and others returning from their missions. As seen from the control tower, one cannot help but be mesmerized by the sight of these majestic planes against the backdrop of an East Riding sky. The still flags scattered across the airfield indicate the strength of the wind on that particular day. It's a reminder of how weather conditions played a crucial role in aviation during those times. This snapshot freezes a moment in history when bravery and skill were required to defend our skies. Amongst this collection of fighters stands out one iconic aircraft - the Gloster Meteor. A symbol of British military might, it represents both power and innovation in aerial warfare during that era. Located in Yorkshire, England, The RAF Leconfield served as an important hub for transport and military operations throughout its existence. Its hangars housed not only planes but also stories waiting to be told. As we gaze upon this historical gem captured by anonymous staff members behind Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to a time when courage soared through our skies and united Kingdom stood strong against any threat that came its way.
