EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the heart of the Cold War era, specifically to RAF Feltwell in England on 2nd February 1960. The image showcases a group of dedicated RAF Technicians stationed at one of the launch control suites for the formidable Thor intermediate range ballistic missile. As tensions ran high during this period, these skilled engineers were entrusted with operating and maintaining the complex instrument board filled with controls and dials that held immense power - capable of launching nuclear missiles. Their unwavering commitment to duty is evident in their focused expressions as they navigate through this crucial task. The significance of this moment cannot be overstated; it symbolizes both the technological advancements achieved by humanity and the ever-present threat looming over nations during those uncertain times. These brave men played an integral role in ensuring national security for the United Kingdom amidst a global backdrop of war and conflict. Decades later, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of our shared history - a testament to human resilience and determination even when faced with unimaginable challenges. It stands as a tribute not only to these unsung heroes but also to all those who have dedicated their lives towards safeguarding peace in an increasingly volatile world.
