EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by Victor Crawshaw, we are transported back to the historic moment in June 1965 when the DeHavilland Trident of BEA (British European Airways) made aviation history with its groundbreaking "No Hands" landing at Heathrow Airport. The image beautifully depicts the aircraft gracefully touching down on the runway, showcasing both its sleek design and innovative capabilities. The significance of this event cannot be overstated. It marked a pivotal milestone in commercial aviation, as it was the first time that an aircraft successfully executed a hands-free landing. This achievement not only showcased technological advancements but also highlighted the skill and expertise of pilots who were able to harness these cutting-edge features. The black-and-white composition adds a timeless quality to the photograph, allowing us to truly appreciate this remarkable moment frozen in time. As we gaze upon this print from Memory Lane Prints, we can't help but feel a sense of awe and admiration for those involved in pushing boundaries within the aviation industry during that era. This photo serves as a powerful reminder of how far we have come since then, with modern-day aircraft incorporating even more advanced automation systems. Yet it also pays homage to those pioneers who fearlessly embraced innovation and forever changed the course of air travel.
