EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1940s, during the Second World War. It showcases a group of dedicated cadets from Wakefield 127 Squadron Air Training Corps (ATC), engrossed in their duty of giving landing instructions. The focal point is Corporal Don Nicholson, seated confidently in the cockpit of their homemade aeroplane. The image beautifully captures the essence of aviation and communication during that era. These young students, dressed impeccably in their uniforms, epitomize discipline and commitment as they learn vital lessons about flight operations. With headphones on, they eagerly absorb every word exchanged between themselves and Corporal Nicholson. It is remarkable to witness how these passionate individuals utilized limited resources to construct an aircraft model for training purposes. This speaks volumes about their determination and resourcefulness amidst wartime constraints. The Royal Air Force (RAF) insignia proudly displayed on their uniforms symbolizes not only their affiliation but also represents a larger narrative of bravery and sacrifice during those tumultuous times. Photographer Walter Mexboro skillfully immortalized this moment on February 16th, 1944 - freezing it forever within this timeless photograph. As we gaze upon this snapshot from Memory Lane Prints, we are reminded of the invaluable role education played in shaping these young minds into future aviators who would go on to contribute significantly to our nation's history.
