Anti Aircraft


EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Acoustic Mirror 28893_037, a remarkable relic from World War I. Located near Kilnsea in the East Riding of Yorkshire, this aerial shot taken by Dave MacLeod in 2016 captures the essence of this historic structure. Standing tall and proud against the backdrop of a serene landscape, it serves as a poignant reminder of an era long gone. Originally designed as an anti-aircraft early warning system during WWI, this acoustic mirror played a crucial role in defending British shores from potential enemy attacks. Its unique shape and strategic positioning allowed it to detect incoming aircraft by reflecting and amplifying sound waves. The image beautifully captures the intricate details etched into its weathered surface, showcasing both its architectural significance and historical importance. The contrast between nature's tranquility surrounding it and its purposeful construction evokes a sense of awe and curiosity. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era where these structures dotted our coastlines - silent sentinels guarding our skies. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity and resourcefulness during times of conflict. Dave MacLeod's skillful composition allows us to appreciate not only the physicality but also the symbolism behind this acoustic mirror. As we reflect on its significance within history, let us remember those who served tirelessly to protect our nation's freedom all those years ago.
