EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, taken on November 19, 1958, Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, inspects a Bristol Bloodhound surface-to-air guided missile at Britain's first guided weapons air defence station located at North Coates in Lincolnshire. The Duke is accompanied by senior military personnel, including Air Chief Marshal Sir Thomas Pike (1906-1983), Commander-in-Chief of Fighter Command, and Group Captain James Leathart, Station Commander. To his left is Flight Lieutenant J.W. Waterton, Officer Commanding Fire Unit Squadron. The Bloodhound missile system was a crucial development in Britain's air defence capabilities, providing an effective defence against low-flying aircraft and missiles. The station at North Coates was the first of its kind in the country, marking a significant milestone in the development of Britain's air defence infrastructure. Prince Philip, who served in the Royal Navy during World War II, was deeply interested in military technology and often took an active role in inspecting new equipment. His presence at the North Coates station underscored the importance of the Bloodhound missile system to the country's defence and signalled the Royal Family's support for the military's modernization efforts. The photograph captures a moment of pride and accomplishment for all involved, as they showcase the cutting-edge technology that would help protect Britain's skies for years to come. The Duke's attentive inspection of the missile and his engaged conversation with the military personnel underscore his genuine interest and appreciation for the work being done. This image is a testament to the collaboration between the military and the Royal Family in ensuring the protection of the nation.
