EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the past with this image of a bustling airport scene from the 1960s. The photograph, taken by Andrew Beyley for Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back in time as we witness the excitement and energy of travel in an era long gone. Passengers, dressed in their best attire for the occasion, gather at the tarmac, eagerly awaiting their departure on British United Airways (BUA) and BKS aircraft. The sleek and stylish planes, with their distinctive livery, are a sight to behold as they prepare for takeoff. The steps leading up to the planes are a hive of activity, as porters load luggage onto the aircraft and passengers make their final farewells. In the background, a lorry transporting more luggage adds to the sense of movement and anticipation. The airport, with its modernist architecture and clean lines, is a testament to the optimism and progress of the time. The scene is a microcosm of the world coming together, as people from all walks of life gather to embark on their journeys, whether for business or pleasure. The 1960s were a golden age of air travel, and this photograph captures the spirit of adventure and exploration that defined the era. As we look at the image, we can almost hear the hum of the engines and feel the rush of excitement as the passengers prepare to board their flights and set off on their next adventure.
