EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the intense atmosphere within the hangar at Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait during Operation Desert Fox. The image showcases an RAF Tornado GR1 jet, meticulously prepared for battle against Iraqi targets in December 1998. As tensions rose and Iraq's non-compliance with United Nations Security Council resolutions became evident, this joint UK and US bombing campaign aimed to restore order and protect international interests. The illuminated aircraft stands as a symbol of strength and determination amidst crisis. Its sleek design exudes power, while its presence evokes a sense of urgency. The moods depicted in this photograph are palpable - from the focused intensity of those preparing the jet to the underlying tension that permeates every corner of the hangar. Set against the backdrop of the Persian Gulf, this image serves as a reminder of both conflict and cooperation between nations. It highlights not only the Royal Air Force's commitment to defending peace but also their collaboration with allies on crucial missions. Andrew Stenning's expert composition captures a moment frozen in time - one that represents bravery, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication to upholding international law. This print is more than just an artistic representation; it encapsulates history itself by immortalizing a pivotal event in global affairs during the 1990s.
