EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported to the France-Air-Space Museum in Le Bourget, near Paris. The image captures a glimpse of history as old planes, bombers, and jetfighters patiently await their fate in "Le grenier" one of the sheds within the museum's restoration section. Among them stands a remarkable relic - a part of a Farman F. 60 Goliath from the renowned French company "Air Union" which later became Air France. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation as approximately 30 flying machines reside here, ready to be revived according to the museum's needs. Each aircraft holds stories untold and memories long forgotten, waiting for skilled hands and passionate hearts to breathe new life into them. Photographer Eric Piermont skillfully frames this scene, emphasizing both the grandeur and fragility of these magnificent flying marvels. The composition showcases not only the historical significance but also highlights an intriguing detail - tailors dummies scattered amidst these dormant giants. This photograph serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with flight and our commitment to preserving aviation heritage. It reminds us that even in retirement or disrepair, these machines continue to inspire awe and wonderment among those who visit this remarkable museum. AFP brings us yet another captivating visual narrative through Eric Piermont's lens – an invitation for all aviation enthusiasts and history buffs alike to explore this treasure trove where dreams take flight once more.
