A flock of pigeons stream into the flight path of a jumbo jet coming in to land at Londons Heathrow Airport. It looks as if the birds face mass slaughter but in fact they are well out of harms way, several hundred feet below the jet. Its just a trick of the photographic eye

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from May 1983, we witness a breathtaking moment at London's Heathrow Airport. A flock of pigeons gracefully soar through the sky, seemingly on a collision course with a colossal jumbo jet descending to land. However, appearances can be deceiving as these birds are actually several hundred feet below the aircraft and well out of harm's way. It is an optical illusion that plays tricks on our eyes. Transported back to the bustling aviation scene of the 1980s, this image encapsulates both the beauty and potential danger associated with flight. The juxtaposition between delicate avian creatures and the sheer power of modern engineering creates a sense of awe and wonder. While it may appear as if these majestic birds face mass slaughter in their daring encounter with the jumbo jet, rest assured that they remain untouched by its path. This photograph serves as a reminder that sometimes what we perceive isn't always reality; it challenges us to question our initial assumptions. As we delve into Memory Lane Prints' vast collection, let us appreciate this snapshot not only for its artistic value but also for its ability to spark curiosity about our surroundings. It reminds us that even in moments where danger seems imminent, there may be hidden layers of safety beneath the surface – just like those pigeons soaring peacefully below that mighty plane in London's skies so many years ago.
