EDITORS COMMENTS
The British team embarks on a historic journey as they depart London Heathrow Airport, bound for the Stoke Mandeville International Games in Israel. This print captures the spirit and determination of these remarkable athletes, all of whom are paralysed yet ready to compete on a global stage. In an inspiring display of unity, the British team shares a specially chartered plane with their Irish counterparts. Together, they defy limitations and challenge societal perceptions surrounding disability. As pioneers in adaptive sports, these courageous individuals pave the way for future generations of para-athletes. The year is 1968, and this photograph encapsulates an era marked by progress and inclusivity. The 17th International Stoke Mandeville Games serve as a testament to the power of sport in breaking down barriers and fostering camaraderie among diverse nations. Peter Stone's masterful composition immortalizes this significant moment in history. Through his lens, we witness not only athletic prowess but also resilience that transcends physical boundaries. Each wheelchair-bound competitor exudes strength and grace as they prepare to showcase their skills at the IWAS World Games - later known as the Paralympic Games. This print serves as a timeless reminder that disabilities do not define one's potential or limit their dreams. It stands as an enduring tribute to those who have triumphed over adversity through sheer determination and unwavering passion.
