EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in Australia's aviation history. Taken on 4th October 2001 at Sydney Airport, the image showcases a row of idle Ansett planes, their tails standing tall against the backdrop of an overcast sky. The stillness and silence surrounding these once mighty aircraft evoke a sense of loss and uncertainty. The significance of this snapshot is further highlighted by the news that Singapore Airlines has entered negotiations with the administrator of Ansett, hinting at a potential resurrection for the failed Australian carrier. In this context, the photograph takes on an added layer of hope and possibility. Photographer Greg Wood masterfully frames this scene from a vertical perspective, emphasizing both the grandeur and vulnerability of these grounded planes. The composition draws attention to each tail fin as if they were individual symbols representing dreams deferred or ambitions unfulfilled. While it remains unclear what fate awaits these dormant aircraft, one cannot help but wonder about their stories: journeys taken, passengers transported safely across vast distances, memories made within their metal confines. This image serves as a reminder that even in moments of stagnation and uncertainty, there is always room for new beginnings and unexpected alliances. Greg Wood's evocative capture invites us to reflect upon not only Ansett's legacy but also our collective resilience in times of adversity—a testament to how aviation can unite nations beyond borders.
