EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the summer of 1979, offering a mesmerizing aerial view of London. The focal point of this image is the incredible display put on by the esteemed RAF Falcon parachute team. On this particular morning, these daredevils fearlessly jumped into London's iconic Horse Guard square, leaving spectators in awe. Their breathtaking performance was not just an adrenaline-pumping spectacle but also served as a brilliant publicity stunt for the upcoming royal Tournament at Earls Court. As they gracefully descended from the rear of an RAF Hercules aircraft, their colorful parachutes painted a stunning contrast against the cityscape below. The photograph beautifully captures both the precision and artistry involved in skydiving during that era. It transports us back to a time when such displays were rare and truly left an indelible mark on those lucky enough to witness them firsthand. London itself provides a magnificent backdrop for this thrilling moment in history. Its historic landmarks stand tall amidst its bustling streets and flowing waterways, reminding us why it has always been considered one of Europe's greatest cities. Preserved through Memory Lane Prints, this remarkable snapshot allows us to relive the excitement and marvel at these brave men who defied gravity with grace and skill.
