EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the bustling sky over Windsor Castle, a mere five miles away from Heathrow Airport and positioned directly under one of the main flight paths. Taken during an enchanting evening in January 1981, this extraordinary image showcases the mesmerizing trails of light left behind by more than thirty planes. The elongated lines represent the take-off lights, while the tiny dots symbolize the wing-tip lights. Transport yourself back to the vibrant 1980s as you marvel at this timeless photograph. It not only portrays a remarkable moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to our ever-evolving aviation industry. As air traffic control diligently coordinates flights above Berkshire's picturesque landscape, these streaks of luminosity paint a vivid picture against the night sky. However, beyond its aesthetic appeal lies a deeper reflection on environmental concerns. This thought-provoking image raises awareness about light pollution and its impact on our surroundings. Amidst this breathtaking display of human ingenuity and progress, we are reminded to strike a balance between technological advancements and preserving our natural environment.
