EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in aviation history. The image showcases the Westland Whirlwind HAR. 10 prototype, accompanied by the Westland Whirlwind HAS. 7 of 848 Squadron from HMS Bulwark, amidst a snowy landscape at Worthy Down in December 1959. What makes this scene even more remarkable is the presence of Royal Marine Commandos, adding an element of strength and power to the composition. The photograph beautifully portrays the postwar era of the Fleet Air Arm, showcasing their prowess in helicopter technology. The sleek design and powerful rotors of these aircraft are evident as they stand tall against the wintry backdrop. One can almost feel the biting cold air as it whips around these magnificent machines. Incorporating both airborne forces and royal marines into one frame symbolizes unity and collaboration between different branches of military service during that time period.
