EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the remnants of Thor Missile Site 33881_017, located at RAF Harrington in Northamptonshire. Dating back to the Cold War era, this site stands as a testament to the military history and strategic significance it once held. The image showcases the skeletal remains of what was once a formidable missile site, now weathered by time and nature. The composition highlights the vastness of this abandoned airfield, with its barren landscape stretching out into the distance. The intricate network of concrete structures and launch pads is visible from above, providing a glimpse into the meticulous planning that went into constructing such sites during this tense period in history. As we gaze upon this print from Historic England Archive, our minds are transported back to an era when tensions ran high between global superpowers. It serves as a poignant reminder of how close we came to catastrophic conflict during those uncertain times. Through capturing these hauntingly beautiful ruins, we are reminded not only of our past but also of our ability to learn from it. This image invites us to reflect on humanity's capacity for destruction and resilience while appreciating the peaceful world we inhabit today. © His toric England Archive has preserved this piece of history for future generations, ensuring that its story will continue to be told long after these physical remnants have faded away.
