EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Air Force (RAF) Museum takes us back to a significant moment in history - immigration at Shoreham Airport during World War Two. The year is 1940, and as the world grapples with the chaos of war, this image captures a scene that reflects both hope and uncertainty. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness Home Office officials diligently questioning passengers who have arrived at Shoreham Airport. These individuals are likely seeking refuge or embarking on journeys fraught with danger. Their faces reveal a mix of emotions - anxiety, anticipation, and perhaps even relief for having made it this far. The backdrop of aviation adds an additional layer of intrigue to the photograph. Against the silhouette of aircrafts parked on the tarmac, one can only imagine how these brave souls arrived at this point - their stories untold but undoubtedly filled with tales of resilience and survival. As we gaze upon this historical relic, we are reminded not only of the immense challenges faced by those caught up in global conflict but also of humanity's enduring spirit. It serves as a poignant reminder that amidst turmoil and adversity, people continue to seek solace and opportunity beyond borders. This powerful image encapsulates an era when transportation hubs like Shoreham Airport became gateways to new beginnings or potential peril. It invites us to reflect on our shared history while acknowledging the universal desire for safety, freedom, and better lives – aspirations that transcend time and place.
