EDITORS COMMENTS
Stepping back in time to the 1970s, this print captures the majestic County Class guided missile destroyer HMS London as it arrives on the River Tyne for a much-anticipated visit to Newcastle. Built with precision by Swan Hunter between 1960-62 and commissioned shortly after, this formidable ship symbolizes both power and grace. In this snapshot of history, we witness two young sailors, AB Ted Gould from Hartlepool and REA Len Rogers from Bedlington, seizing a moment to capture their own memories of the Quaysides. With cameras in hand and smiles on their faces, they immortalize their connection to this magnificent vessel. The atmosphere is filled with excitement as locals gather along the riverbank to catch a glimpse of HMS London's arrival. The sailor's crisp uniforms proudly display their affiliation with the navy while they stand tall beside an impressive gun cannon. Their hats are raised in salute as they wave at passersby, adding a touch of lightheartedness amidst the grandeur. This photograph encapsulates not only a historical event but also represents youthful enjoyment and camaraderie among these brave servicemen. It serves as a reminder of our shared heritage and honors those who have dedicated themselves to protecting our shores.
