The frontier is ringed by a chain link fence topped with barbed wire
The frontier is ringed by a chain link fence topped with barbed wire, broken only by a gate through which all visitors enter. The guard on the gate is wary and watchful, checking passes in minute detail before motioning people through with a spotless glove.
This is the American air force base at Fairford, Gloucestershire.

The Frontier - A Symbol of Allegiance and Childhood Innocence
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the essence of an era when childhood innocence intertwined with unwavering allegiance to one's country. The image portrays a chain link fence, encircling the American air force base at Fairford, Gloucestershire in November 1987. Topped with menacing barbed wire, this formidable barrier is only interrupted by a gate that serves as the sole entrance for all visitors. At this gateway stands a guard, vigilant and watchful. With meticulous attention to detail, he scrutinizes each pass presented before motioning people through with his spotless glove. This snapshot encapsulates the strict security measures implemented during those times while also evoking a sense of awe and respect for those who served within these walls. However, amidst this military stronghold lies an unexpected scene - "The Fairford kids rally round the flag". In their innocent enthusiasm, children from nearby schools gather around the American flag proudly displayed within the base premises. Their youthful faces radiate curiosity and admiration as they soak in every aspect of this patriotic spectacle. This photograph not only immortalizes a moment frozen in time but also reflects on how education intertwines with military presence. It reminds us of our shared history and highlights how even in seemingly impenetrable fortresses like air force bases, there exists room for inspiration and wonderment among young minds.
