“They are both looking the same way, out of frame, and neither says what they see. He leans against the fuselage, leather jacket open, one hand in his pocket, ankles crossed like someone who still has time. She stands straight in her rose-print dress, hands clasped in front of her, and she is the one who seems to be counting. The aeroplane takes up almost all the space: the polished aluminium throws back the sky, the low light, and even people who are not in the picture. On the wing, a man in a white shirt leans over; behind the young man, a dark figure in a beret stands with his back to us in the metal. The title says it is their last leave; they say nothing of it. The sun is low, the shadows lengthen on the runway, and the chock is still against the wheel. As long as it stays there, nothing is decided.”

— Le Yack

Le Yack leans a young couple against the fuselage of a propeller fighter in polished aluminium, on a runway striped with long shadows by the low sun. Cream dress scattered with roses, brown leather jacket, khaki trousers: the warm palette of the figures answers the blue of the sky reflected on the wing and the yellow of the aircraft’s nose. In the metal, the reflections conjure other presences, a man in a white shirt leaning over, a dark figure in a beret. An 80 × 80 cm square format, where the aeroplane fills almost the whole field and two gazes run off the same way, out of frame.
