EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Wing Commander Bryan Cox, the commanding officer of 19 Lightning Squadron, takes center stage as he gives a final briefing to his pilots at RAF Leconfield before their take-off on September 1st, 1965. The image captures the essence of military precision and camaraderie that defined the era. Dressed in their flight suits and g-suits, the group of determined pilots attentively listen to their leader's instructions. Their eyes reflect both focus and anticipation for what lies ahead in the skies above Yorkshire. The English Electric Lightning aircraft stands tall behind them, ready to unleash its power. The scene exudes an air of nostalgia from the 1960s - a time when men dominated military aviation. This snapshot freezes a moment in history when bravery soared through British airspace. It serves as a reminder of the dedication and skill required by these courageous individuals who defended our skies during times of conflict. Staff James Mitchell's expert eye has captured not only an iconic moment but also pays homage to those who served in the United Kingdom's air force during this period. This print is more than just an image; it encapsulates a significant chapter within our nation's military heritage that should be remembered with pride for generations to come.
