EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1960s, specifically to February 22nd, 1961, at RAF Coltishall in Norfolk. The image showcases a remarkable line-up of aircraft belonging to Number 74 Squadron of the Royal Air Force (RAF). These all-weather English Electric Lightning fighter planes stand tall and proud on the tarmac, ready for action. The sheer power and elegance exuded by these military marvels is truly awe-inspiring. With their sleek design and advanced technology, they were at the forefront of aviation during that era. Each plane represents a symbol of strength and determination as it prepares to take flight into the vast skies above. RAF Coltishall served as an important base for these formidable fighters, providing them with a strategic location from which they could defend British airspace. This photograph captures not only the physical presence of these aircraft but also reflects upon the dedication and skill possessed by those who operated them. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the significant role played by our armed forces in safeguarding our nation's security throughout history. It serves as a poignant reminder of how far aviation has come since then while honoring those who served bravely in defense of their country. Kemsley's expertly captured moment allows us to appreciate both the technological advancements made within aviation during this period and pays homage to those who dedicated themselves to protecting our skies.
