EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from The Tony Lovelock Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, we see Canadair CL-215 F-ZBBH/26, a retired water bomber, parked among its withdrawn colleagues of Secteur de Surveillance Civile (Civil Security Sector, or Secutite Civile) at Marseille-Provence Airport, circa 2005. The Canadair CL-215, a versatile amphibious aircraft, was primarily used for firefighting and water bombing operations. The image captures the essence of aviation history, as these aircraft, once vital components of France's aerial firefighting fleet, now await their disposal. The worn paint and weathered surfaces of the CL-215s serve as a testament to their years of dedicated service. The scene at Marseille-Provence Airport is a poignant reminder of the cyclical nature of aviation. These aircraft, which once soared through the skies to protect communities from the ravages of wildfires, now sit idle, their futures uncertain. The photograph invites us to reflect on the history of these remarkable machines and the important role they played in safeguarding lives and property. As we gaze at the image, we are transported back in time, witnessing a moment in aviation history as these Canadair CL-215s, including F-ZBBH/26, wait for their next chapter. The photograph is a powerful reminder of the enduring legacy of these aircraft and the vital role they played in the world of aeronautical transportation.
