EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Damian Grady takes us on a journey to Hullavington Airfield in Wiltshire, where history and modernity seamlessly blend. The image showcases an aircraft hangar undergoing a remarkable transformation as it is being returfed in 2019. From high above, the aerial perspective allows us to appreciate the vastness of this airfield and the meticulous work taking place. The scene exudes a sense of industriousness and progress, as workers diligently tend to every detail of the hangar's refurbishment. The vibrant green turf being carefully laid down adds a touch of freshness amidst the surrounding concrete structures. It symbolizes not only rejuvenation but also serves as a reminder that even within highly technical environments like airfields, nature can find its place. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this photograph captures an important moment in time for Hullavington Airfield—a testament to its continuous evolution over decades.
