EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial shot captures the essence of history and transformation at Hullavington Airfield in Wiltshire. The print showcases a cluster of repurposed aircraft hangars, standing as silent witnesses to the evolution of aviation. Taken by talented photographer Damian Grady in 2019, this image offers a glimpse into an ongoing restoration project that breathes new life into these once bustling structures. The photograph exudes a sense of nostalgia, with each weathered hangar telling its own story. These architectural marvels have witnessed countless takeoffs and landings, sheltering planes that soared through the skies during times of war and peace. Now, they stand tall against the backdrop of an ever-changing world. Damian Grady's keen eye for detail brings out the beauty in decay, capturing both the resilience and vulnerability inherent in these aging hangars. The composition highlights their geometric shapes and intricate design elements while showcasing nature's reclamation efforts on their exteriors. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking image, we are reminded of our responsibility to preserve our heritage for future generations. It serves as a reminder that even amidst progress and modernization, it is crucial to honor our past by breathing new life into historic structures like these hangars. In this stunning print from Historic England's collection, Damian Grady invites us to reflect on how far we've come while appreciating where it all began – within these very walls that continue to inspire awe today.
