EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the 1950s, where a de Havilland Heron propeller-driven small airliner takes center stage. Operated by Dragon Airways, this vintage aircraft is captured at Newcastle Airport in Woolsington. As the anticipation builds for an exciting journey ahead, a mechanic stands beside the plane, giving a signal to the pilot to start its engines. On this particular day - June 7th, 1956 - the aircraft was not just carrying passengers but also a party of press members. They were en route to attend a reception hosted by the Northern Ireland Tourist Board in Belfast. This event marked the beginning of an eagerly awaited new service between Newcastle and Belfast that commenced on June 11th of that year. The image showcases not only the marvel of aerospace engineering but also highlights how air travel revolutionized business and leisure trips during that era. The small group of people surrounding the aircraft hints at both excitement and adventure as they embark on their journey together. This photograph serves as a nostalgic reminder of how transport and travel have evolved over time while capturing an important moment in aviation history. It allows us to reflect upon our own experiences with air travel today while appreciating those who paved the way for modern-day convenience and exploration.
