EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured from the cockpit of an RAF Jaguar soaring at a breathtaking speed of 400 mph, this remarkable print showcases the bustling King George and Queen Elizabeth Docks in Hull. The year is 1982, a time when tensions were high as the Falklands War loomed on the horizon. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the North Sea Ferry Norland docked at the ferry terminal, unaware of its imminent requisition for war duty. Its colossal presence dominates the center of the frame, symbolizing both hope and uncertainty that lay ahead. To the right stands HMS Minerva, an imposing Leander Class Frigate armed with deadly Exocet missiles. This Royal Navy vessel has temporarily found solace within these docks during a port visit before embarking on its next mission. The image encapsulates not only military might but also highlights Hull's significance as a vital hub for trade and transport. Warehouses line up along River Humber's banks while cranes stand tall like guardians overseeing countless imports and exports flowing through these busy waters. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of England's industrial prowess during this era. It captures Yorkshire's spirit and resilience while showcasing how crucial shipping played in sustaining economic growth throughout United Kingdom’s history.
