EDITORS COMMENTS
Gliding over Northumberland, this print captures the sheer thrill and beauty of aviation in the 1970s. The focal point of the image is a sleek glider, gracefully soaring through the endless blue skies. Its wings outstretched like a majestic bird, it effortlessly rides on invisible currents of air, showcasing man's desire to conquer gravity. But what makes this scene even more intriguing is the De Havilland Chipmunk aircraft that pulls the glider into position. As if playing an aerial ballet, these two flying machines work in perfect harmony, each fulfilling its unique role in this exhilarating pastime. The Chipmunk assumes its duty as a trusty tow vehicle with utmost precision and power. The date etched below - 3rd July 1977 - serves as a reminder of an era when aviation was not just about commercial travel but also about personal passion and adventure. It transports us back to simpler times when individuals pursued their love for flight purely for joy and fulfillment. This remarkable photograph by Eric Burns encapsulates both the artistry and technicality involved in gliding as a hobby. It invites us to appreciate not only the skill required to navigate these graceful aircraft but also our innate human fascination with defying limits and exploring new horizons.
