EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Gates Learjet 23 D-IHAQ, belonging to H. Quandt, at Prestwick Airport during its delivery flight in 1965. The sleek and sophisticated aircraft exudes an air of elegance as it prepares for take-off on that fateful day.
Little did anyone know that this very plane would meet its tragic end just a few months later at Zurich Airport. On December 12, 1965, tragedy struck when an aborted take-off on a wet runway led to the over-loaded aircraft being written off.
Despite its untimely demise, this image serves as a poignant reminder of the fleeting nature of life and the importance of cherishing every moment. The Gates Learjet 23 D-IHAQ may no longer grace the skies with its presence, but its memory lives on through photographs like these.
As aviation enthusiasts gaze upon this photograph, they are transported back in time to an era where flying was still considered a luxury and each journey held an element of excitement and adventure. The Peter Butt Aviation Collection has truly captured the essence of this iconic aircraft in all its glory.
