EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous occasion in British aviation history. British Midland, with great pride and nostalgia, organized a commemorative flight to Teesside Airport on the 10th of April 1996 to bid farewell to their beloved DC9 aircraft as it departed from their fleet for the last time. In this remarkable image, we witness the majestic DC9 making a low-level pass over the airfield, gracefully soaring through the sky. As if paying homage to its successor, a Boeing 737 patiently waits on the tarmac for its turn to take off. The contrasting beauty of these two aircrafts symbolizes an era transitioning into modernity. The significance of this event cannot be overstated; it represents not only an end but also new beginnings in aviation technology and progress. It is a testament to British Midland's commitment towards providing exceptional service and embracing innovation. Transport enthusiasts will appreciate this snapshot capturing both historical and technological milestones within one frame. The photograph transports us back in time to witness firsthand the excitement surrounding air travel during that period. Terry Reed's expertly captured image immortalizes this fleeting moment forever, allowing us all to relive this extraordinary chapter in British aviation history whenever we gaze upon it.
