EDITORS COMMENTS
In a remarkable display of resilience, the remnants of an aircraft crash in Lostwithiel, Cornwall serve as a testament to human survival. Captured in this poignant print from September 1991, we witness the aftermath of a harrowing incident involving a two-seater Cessna 150 Aerobat aircraft. The hedge-lined road between Lostwithiel and Couchs Mill became an unexpected stage for this dramatic event. Fortunately, both pilot Lionel Burrows and his passenger managed to escape with only minor injuries, defying the odds stacked against them. This particular aeroplane belonged to the Penguin Group - a collective of eleven local businessmen who shared ownership and kept it at Bodmin Airfield. The image encapsulates the fragility of life juxtaposed against the strength of human spirit. Amongst scattered traffic cones and amidst Cornish countryside charm, one cannot help but marvel at how air travel can be both awe-inspiring and unpredictable. Photographer Jonathan Barker captures not just an accident scene but also reminds us that even in moments where chaos reigns supreme, there is always hope for survival. As you gaze upon this photograph print at Royal Cornwall Museum, let it serve as a reminder that life's journey may take unexpected turns; yet through sheer determination and perhaps some luck along the way, we can emerge from even the most daunting challenges.
