EDITORS COMMENTS

The photograph showcases a thrilling moment as visitors to the airshow experience the full force of an artificial hurricane, created by the powerful propellers of planes taking off or landing. The image is filled with a sense of excitement and anticipation as people gather around the tarmac, shielding themselves from the gusts of wind generated by the aircraft. Their expressions range from curiosity to awe, as they witness the raw power and might of the machines up close. Matania's use of contrasting colors and dynamic angles effectively conveys the energy and movement of the scene. The planes, with their wings spread wide, create a striking contrast against the blue sky and the green grass below. The swirling clouds of dust and debris add to the sense of chaos and excitement, making for an unforgettable experience for the visitors. The title "Meeting an artificial hurricane - an odd sensation at the great R.A.F. display at Hendon" perfectly encapsulates the unique and exhilarating atmosphere of the event.
