EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of camaraderie and determination among RAF Halton apprentices during the 1977 Ten Tors expedition. The Ten Tors challenge is an annual event organized by the Dartmoor Training Centre in the United Kingdom, where teams of young people from various military units, schools, and organizations navigate their way across Dartmoor, carrying a specified number of tors (granite outcrops) as part of a team relay race. In this image, Charles Chuck Kirkbride, a member of the RAF Halton Pipe Band, waits to pipe in the next team. The piping tradition is an essential part of the event, signaling the start of each team's leg of the race. The setting sun casts a warm glow on the scene, highlighting the rugged terrain and the resilience of the young participants. The photograph also showcases the aeronautical theme of RAF Halton through the presence of the pipe band and the various aircraft models and aeroplane parts visible in the background. This image offers a unique glimpse into the rich history of military training and teamwork that continues to be a hallmark of RAF Halton and the British Armed Forces.
