EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the 1980s as we witness eight-year-old Cheryl James standing proudly beside a majestic T55 Lightning fighter jet. This iconic aircraft has just arrived at the Midland Air Museum in Coventry Airport, Baginton, making it an exciting addition to their collection. Formerly serving in the Royal Saudi Air Force, this particular jet was carefully transported from British Aerospace's aerodrome in Warton, Lancashire under tight police escort. Its arrival on the 14th of January 1989 marked a significant moment for aviation enthusiasts and military history preservationists alike. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, young Cheryl exudes pure joy and awe while standing next to such a powerful machine. Her innocent fascination with the fighter jet perfectly captures the wonder that aviation can inspire within children. This image serves as a reminder of how important it is to preserve our rich military heritage and educate future generations about its significance. The RAF's contribution during this era cannot be understated, and photographs like these help us appreciate their bravery and dedication. Derrick Warren skillfully captured not only Cheryl's infectious enthusiasm but also immortalized an important piece of history through his lens. This photograph stands as a testament to both human curiosity and technological advancements that continue to shape our world today.
