EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from The Tony Lovelock Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, we see the Canadair CL-215 F-ZBBW, registration number 47, parked among its retired colleagues of Secteur de Surveillance et d'Intervention en Milieu Urbain (SECTIUE Civile), or Civil Security Sector, at Marseille-Provence Airport around the year 2005. The Canadair CL-215, a versatile amphibious aircraft, was widely used for firefighting, water bombing, and other specialized aerial operations. The image captures the serene stillness of the scene, with the CL-215s standing proudly yet forlornly against the backdrop of the French Riviera's clear blue sky. The once-vibrant aircraft now bear the marks of their past service, with faded paint and weathered surfaces. The image is a poignant reminder of their dedicated roles in protecting communities from various hazards, now retired and awaiting disposal. The Canadair CL-215s, with their distinctive hump-backed design and large propellers, have been an essential part of the aeronautical landscape for decades. Their withdrawal from service marks the end of an era in aviation and firefighting history. The photograph serves as a testament to their indispensable role in the realm of transportation and emergency response, leaving us with a sense of appreciation for their invaluable contributions.
