EDITORS COMMENTS
In this nostalgic print captured by NCJ, the effervescent Sir Harry Secombe graces Newcastle Airport with his infectious smile. The year is 1983, and as fate would have it, he narrowly missed becoming the illustrious 10,000th passenger to fly from Gatwick to Newcastle on Donair's new British Aerospace 146 aircraft. The atmosphere at the airport is electric as Sir Harry arrives amidst a chorus of cheers and laughter. His presence alone seems to uplift everyone around him, creating an air of excitement that lingers in the photograph. As he stands alongside Frank Burke and Alan Chisholm - representatives from Donair - their faces mirror his contagious grin. Although missing out on claiming the surprise magnum of champagne reserved for the milestone traveler, Sir Harry remains undeterred in his jovial spirit. This snapshot captures a moment frozen in time when celebrities like him were still accessible and approachable. With its vintage charm and unmistakable 1980s aesthetic, this print transports us back to an era where actors like Sir Harry Secombe could effortlessly brighten up any room they entered. It serves as a delightful reminder of simpler times filled with genuine smiles and shared happiness.
