EDITORS COMMENTS
Avril Andrews, a nostalgic soul, finds herself transported back in time as she stands proudly in the cockpit of a £2 million Phantom jet at RAF Leuchars. This photograph captures her connection to this historic base in Fife, Scotland, where her parents' love story began during wartime. Now residing in sunny Queensland, Australia, Avril's parents met at RAF Leuchars and their romance blossomed amidst the chaos of war. Her father served as an armourer while her mother bravely joined the Women's Auxiliary Air Force (WaF). The memories of their time together at this very base hold a special place in Avril's heart. As she gazes out from the cockpit window, Avril can almost hear the roar of engines and feel the adrenaline rush that once filled these skies. The iconic Phantom jet symbolizes not only power and precision but also represents an era when duty called upon brave men and women to defend their nation. This print by McCaski takes us back to the 1970s when aircraft bases like RAF Leuchars were bustling with activity. It serves as a reminder of our rich aviation history and honors those who dedicated their lives to protecting our skies. Let this image transport you to a time when love bloomed amidst uncertainty and bravery soared through Scottish air.
