This print from Memory Lane Prints captures a group of courageous pilots who were part of the Coastal Command of the Royal Air Force during the Second World War. Taken in February 1940, this image showcases some of these brave individuals involved in locating the Altmark, a significant event during that time.

Surrounding them are charts and maps spread out on tables, indicating their meticulous planning and dedication to their duty. The air is thick with determination as they study every detail meticulously, ensuring they leave no stone unturned. Amidst the intensity of war efforts, there is a momentary respite captured here - pipes clenched between teeth and cigarettes billowing smoke into the air. These small acts serve as reminders that even heroes need moments to unwind amidst chaos. The significance of this photograph lies not only in its portrayal of these valiant men but also in commemorating an important chapter: the Altmark incident. It serves as a testament to their unwavering commitment towards protecting our shores and safeguarding freedom.
