EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the remnants of a bygone era, showcasing the Thor Missile Site at RAF Harrington in Northamptonshire. Taken in 2020, this image offers a glimpse into the Cold War period and its military significance. The focal point of the picture is undoubtedly the Pyrotechnic Store and Classified Storage Building, standing as silent witnesses to an era defined by tension and uncertainty. The dilapidated structures evoke a sense of nostalgia for those who remember or have studied this tumultuous time in history. These buildings once housed classified materials and pyrotechnics that played vital roles in safeguarding national security. Now weathered by time, they serve as poignant reminders of past conflicts. RAF Harrington itself was an airfield dedicated to missile operations during this period. It served as one of Britain's key defense sites against potential threats from afar. This print not only captures architectural remains but also symbolizes resilience and determination exhibited by military personnel stationed here. Preserved within Historic England Archive, this image stands as a testament to our collective heritage and serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made during times of unrest. It allows us to reflect upon our shared history while appreciating how far we have come since then.
