EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1952, where a group of North East men embark on an extraordinary journey. The image captures the moment when an RAF Handley Page Hastings transport aircraft takes off from Topcliffe, Yorkshire, bound for Greenland. Onboard this aircraft is hope and rescue for twelve stranded RAF men. As the plane soars into the sky, two brave women stand at the airfield bidding farewell to their husbands. Mrs Elsie Boyd cradles her two-year-old daughter in her arms while Mrs Olive Burke holds onto her son Bobby tightly. Their worried expressions are masked by determination and strength as they wave goodbye to their loved ones. This snapshot encapsulates both the military prowess of the Royal Air Force and the unwavering support of families left behind during times of crisis. It serves as a reminder that even in moments of uncertainty and danger, love and unity prevail.
