EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by David McLellan, we are transported back to the year 1918, during the tumultuous times of World War I. The image showcases an impressive RAF Handley Page H. P. O/400 bomber belonging to the renowned 207 Squadron. Its massive wings are meticulously folded back as it is carefully towed across Ligescourt aerodrome on a late summer day. The scene exudes an air of anticipation and preparation for yet another mission in the war-torn skies. Ground crew members can be seen bustling around the aircraft, ensuring every detail is attended to before takeoff. Their dedication and expertise shine through their interactions with this powerful machine that will soon soar above enemy lines. As we gaze upon this historic moment frozen in time, we cannot help but marvel at both the technological advancements of aviation in the early 20th century and the bravery displayed by those who served in military forces like the Royal Air Force (RAF). This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during wartime and pays tribute to all those who fought valiantly for their countries. David McLellan's expert capture not only immortalizes a significant piece of history but also invites us to reflect on how far we have come since these early days of aerial warfare. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity, determination, and resilience amidst one of humanity's darkest chapters - World War I.
