EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a pair of historic Metropolitan Police helicopters, with one of the first three Metropolitan Police Bell 222 air support helicopters, registration G-METC, taking center stage in the foreground. The Bell 222, a versatile and agile rotorcraft, was a game-changer in the realm of law enforcement aviation when it was introduced to the Metropolitan Police Air Support Unit in the late 1970s. The Metropolitan Police Air Support Unit, commonly known as "Metrocopter," was established in 1968 to provide rapid response and airborne support to ground units. With the addition of the Bell 222 helicopters, the unit was able to enhance its capabilities, enabling it to cover larger areas, respond more quickly to incidents, and provide an aerial perspective that was invaluable in crime-fighting efforts. The Bell 222, with its distinctive twin-engine design and distinctive rotors, is a testament to the technological advancements that have transformed police work over the decades. Its introduction marked a significant milestone in the history of the Metropolitan Police, paving the way for the use of airborne resources in the fight against crime. This photograph not only captures the essence of the Metropolitan Police Air Support Unit's rich history but also serves as a reminder of the vital role that technology and innovation play in keeping our communities safe.
