EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Royal Air Force (RAF) Museum, we are transported back to the year 1918 during World War One. The image showcases a remarkable moment as the "ground crew" cautiously approach a majestic flying boat at RAF Lee-on-Solent. The focal point of the photograph is an impressive Felixstowe F. 2A flying boat, which stands tall and proud on the water's surface. Its sleek design and powerful engines hint at its ability to conquer both land and sea with ease. As it rests in anticipation, one can almost sense its readiness for action. As our eyes shift towards the foreground, we witness a motor launch gracefully making its way towards this magnificent aircraft. Manned by dedicated individuals who form part of the ground crew, their purposeful approach reflects their commitment to ensuring that every aspect of this aerial marvel is meticulously maintained. This snapshot encapsulates not only a significant era in history but also pays homage to those unsung heroes who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes during World War One. Their dedication was crucial in enabling these awe-inspiring machines to take flight and protect our skies. With every detail captured vividly within this photo print, it serves as a poignant reminder of how far aviation has come since those early days when brave men and women pushed boundaries amidst tumultuous times. It allows us to reflect upon their courage while appreciating how technology has evolved over time within the Royal Air Force (RAF).
