EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Preparation for the Channel Crossing: Silver City Plane at Lydd, Kent, 1962. This evocative black-and-white photograph captures a moment of anticipation and excitement at Lydd Airport, Kent, in 1962. The Silver City plane, with its distinctive silver livery and twin propellers, stands proudly on the tarmac, ready for the next stage of a daring journey across the English Channel. In the foreground, a man in a flat cap and overcoat supervises as a car is carefully maneuvered up the loading ramp and into the plane's hold. The open doors of the Silver City reveal a vast, empty space, waiting to swallow up more vehicles and passengers. The crew members, dressed in smart uniforms, stand by, watchful and attentive, ensuring that every detail is taken care of before takeoff. The small aeroplane, with its propellers spinning lazily in the background, is a testament to the ingenuity and courage of the era's aviation pioneers. The scene is a snapshot of the 1960s, a time when air travel was still a novelty and the prospect of crossing the Channel by plane was an adventure in itself. This photograph is a reminder of the romance and adventure of travel by air, and the role that planes like the Silver City played in shaping our modern world.
