The first jumbo jet carrying fare-paying passengers has arrived at Heathrow airport. The newly-constructed Boeing 747, Pan Am Flight Two, touched down at Heathrow at 1414GMT today - seven hours late due to technical problems.

Commercial Aircraft Ground Crew Plane
23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the historic moment when the first Boeing 747 gracefully touched down at Heathrow Airport in January 1970. As the Pan Am Flight Two jumbo jet made its grand entrance, airport and airline workers eagerly surrounded it, marveling at its immense size and groundbreaking design. This iconic image captures a significant milestone in aviation history - the arrival of the first-ever jumbo jet carrying fare-paying passengers. Despite facing technical difficulties that caused a seven-hour delay, this newly-constructed Boeing 747 successfully completed its transatlantic journey from New York to London with 324 excited passengers on board. The photograph showcases not only the impressive aircraft itself but also highlights the teamwork and dedication of ground crew members who played an essential role in ensuring a smooth landing. Their presence around the plane symbolizes their commitment to passenger safety and comfort. Arthur Sidey's expertly captured snapshot allows us to relive this remarkable moment in time, where innovation met travel aspirations. It serves as a reminder of how far commercial aviation has come since then, shaping our world by connecting people across continents like never before. As we gaze upon this nostalgic image, we can't help but appreciate both the technological advancements achieved over decades and those unsung heroes who continue to make air travel possible today.
