EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures the tragic fate of the Armstrong-Whitworth Meteor NF.11 WD687, as it is engulfed in flames during a fire-fighting practice at the Ministry of Aviation Fire School at Stansted Airport on April 7, 1962. The once majestic aircraft now stands helpless against the inferno, its sleek design and powerful engines no match for the destructive force of fire.
The image serves as a reminder of the dangers faced by those who work in aviation, highlighting the importance of rigorous training and preparedness for emergencies. Despite their advanced technology and engineering, even planes like the Armstrong-Whitworth Meteor are vulnerable to unforeseen disasters.
As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of the bravery and skill required to navigate through such perilous situations. The courage displayed by firefighters who risk their lives to save others is truly commendable.
The Peter Butt Aviation Collection has captured a moment frozen in time, allowing us to reflect on both the beauty and fragility of flight. This image serves as a poignant tribute to all those involved in aviation, from pilots to ground crew, whose dedication keeps our skies safe every day.
