1. Title: "Taking Off into the Skies of the Far East: The Sikorsky S-51 Hms Theseus Helicopter Departs from Hms Glory (R62) during the Korean War, 1951" 2. Description: This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the moment of liftoff for a Sikorsky S-51 Hms Theseus helicopter from the flight deck of Hms Glory (R62), a Royal Navy aircraft carrier, in the Far East during the Korean War in 1951. The image showcases the determination and skill of the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm (FAA) personnel as they prepare the helicopter for its mission. The helicopter's rotor blades are in mid-spin, creating a swirl of mist and spray as the aircraft ascends into the sky. The carrier's towering silhouette and the vast expanse of water in the background underscore the scale and power of this historic moment. 3.

Context: The Korean War (1950-1953) marked a significant turning point in the use of helicopters in military operations. The Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm played a crucial role in the conflict, deploying its helicopters for various tasks, including search and rescue, medical evacuation, and reconnaissance. The Sikorsky S-51 Hms Theseus was one of the helicopters used by the Royal Navy during this period. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing the bravery and innovation of the men and women who served in the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm during the Korean War. 5.
