EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1980s, capturing a remarkable moment at Newcastle Airport. Standing tall and proud on the tarmac is a magnificent Big Orange Braniff International Airlines Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet. Its vibrant orange livery shines brightly against the grey backdrop, making it an eye-catching sight for all aviation enthusiasts. The story behind this particular image adds another layer of intrigue. On that fateful day, this colossal aircraft had been diverted from its intended destination of Gatwick due to freezing fog and treacherous weather conditions. The skilled pilots made a wise decision to land safely at Newcastle Airport instead, ensuring the well-being of everyone on board. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can't help but admire the sheer size and power of this iconic airliner. It symbolizes not only technological advancement in aerospace engineering but also serves as a reminder of how unpredictable Mother Nature can be. Transporting us back in time, this snapshot encapsulates an era when air travel was still considered glamorous and awe-inspiring. The Braniff International Airlines logo emblazoned on the side evokes nostalgia for those who remember flying with one of America's most prominent carriers during that period. This print by NCJ truly captures a moment frozen in time - an extraordinary encounter between man-made marvels and nature's forces - forever etched into our memories through its vivid depiction.
