EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Hawker Siddeley HS.125 Series 1 F-BKMF in all its glory at Le Bourget Airport for the Paris Air Show on June 20, 1965. The sleek design of this aircraft is truly a sight to behold, showcasing the innovation and engineering prowess of the era.
However, tragedy struck just a year later when this very plane crashed into the sea 15 km southwest of Nice during the Nice Airshow on June 5, 1966. The cause? Structural failure that led to a devastating end for this once majestic aircraft.
Despite its untimely demise, this photo serves as a poignant reminder of the risks and challenges faced by those in the aviation industry. It also pays tribute to the skilled pilots and engineers who push boundaries and strive for excellence in their pursuit of flight.
The Peter Butt Aviation Collection has preserved this moment in history, allowing us to reflect on both the beauty and fragility of these incredible machines. May we never forget those who have sacrificed so much in their quest to conquer the skies.
