EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, Sgt W. Lewis, a Launcher Control Assistant with the 32nd Guided Weapons Regiment of the Royal Artillery, meticulously checks the electronics of an English Electric Thunderbird surface-to-air guided missile launcher at Ty Croes, North Wales. The year is 1961, and the tense atmosphere of the training ground is palpable as Sgt Lewis focuses intently on his task. The Thunderbird missile system was a crucial component of the British military's air defense arsenal during the Cold War era. This advanced technology relied heavily on intricate electronic systems to ensure the successful launch of guided missiles against aerial threats. Sgt Lewis's role as a Launcher Control Assistant was essential in maintaining the readiness and effectiveness of this complex machinery. As he works, Sgt Lewis wears the distinctive uniform of the Royal Artillery, complete with beret and brassard. His expression is one of deep concentration, as he carefully examines the various dials and switches on the missile launcher. The photograph captures the seriousness and dedication of the soldiers who manned these critical defense systems, ensuring the protection of the British people during a time of heightened international tension. The setting of Ty Croes, with its rugged terrain and open skies, serves as a stark reminder of the vast expanses of land and air that the military was charged with defending. This powerful image offers a glimpse into the daily life of the soldiers who worked tirelessly to maintain the readiness of their equipment, ensuring the protection of their country from potential aerial threats.
