EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a significant moment in history, capturing the resilience and determination of soldiers during World War Two. The image showcases a group of brave individuals working tirelessly on a downed Junkers 88 bomber at Pagham Harbour on September 9th, 1940. As we delve into the details, it becomes apparent that these soldiers are not only facing an arduous task but also confronting the remnants of their enemy's Luftwaffe. The German markings on the aircraft serve as a stark reminder of the ongoing conflict and the relentless efforts required to secure victory. The photograph exudes a sense of unity and camaraderie among these servicemen who have come together with one common goal - to restore this damaged bomber. Their dedication is palpable as they meticulously repair and salvage what remains from this formidable war machine. Frank Lalouette, whose collection houses this remarkable piece, has undoubtedly preserved an invaluable snapshot of history through his lens. This particular image serves as a testament to both his skill as a photographer and his commitment to documenting wartime events for future generations. Today, thanks to West Sussex County Council's efforts in preserving such historical artifacts, we can reflect upon moments like these with gratitude for those who fought selflessly during World War Two. It reminds us that even amidst destruction and chaos, there will always be heroes willing to rebuild and protect our freedom.
