Aerospace Anger Determination Labour Issues Large Group Of People Crowd Placards Strike Trades Union Workers Worried Complaining
EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this powerful print from 1965, we witness a moment of intense emotion and unity at the British Aircraft Corporation Works in Preston. A large crowd has gathered for an open air meeting following the devastating announcement of the cancellation of the T. S. R. 2 project, a blow to both industry and workers alike. The atmosphere is charged with anger, determination, and worry as workers express their deep concerns about defence cuts that threaten their livelihoods. Placards held high convey messages of frustration and dissatisfaction with labour issues plaguing the aerospace sector during this tumultuous era. Preston North MP Julian Amery takes center stage, addressing the crowd with fervor as he becomes a voice for these hardworking individuals facing uncertain futures. His presence offers hope amidst despair, as he passionately advocates for their rights and demands justice in response to this detrimental decision. This photograph encapsulates not only a significant moment in history but also reflects larger societal tensions surrounding industrial labor disputes during the 1960s. It serves as a reminder of how collective action can be born out of adversity when faced with challenges threatening an entire community's well-being. Staff from Memory Lane Prints have skillfully captured this poignant scene, immortalizing it for generations to come.
