The intensity on his face is palpable, reflecting both excitement and concentration during this historic flight. The significance of this moment cannot be overstated; it represents an era marked by innovation and progress in aviation.

This remarkable print from Memory Lane Prints transports us back to May 1964 when dreams took flight at BAC Filton in Bristol.
