EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, hailing from The Peter Butt Aviation Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to the summer of 1963 at RNAS Ford. The image showcases the Westland WS.51 Dragonfly HR.5 WG664 (msn W/H/34) in its element, delivering the iconic Sea Vixen FAW.21 "Wicked Witch" during an exhilarating airshow performance. The Royal Navy's Westland WS.51 Dragonfly, a versatile and agile rotorcraft, is seen here in its helicopter transport role. Its distinctive silhouette, with its large, open cabin and twin engines, epitomizes the era of aviation innovation. WG664, specifically, was a significant aircraft in the Westland Dragonfly fleet. Meanwhile, the Sea Vixen FAW.21 "Wicked Witch" is a formidable presence in the background. This British naval aircraft, known for its striking paint scheme and impressive capabilities, was a staple of the Royal Navy's fleet during the Cold War era. The Sea Vixen's delivery by the Dragonfly adds an extra layer of excitement to the airshow. The date, 31 June 1963, marks a moment in aviation history where the power and versatility of these aircraft were on full display. The photograph captures the essence of the time, with the sun casting long shadows and the crowd eagerly watching the spectacle unfold. This image is a testament to the rich history of flight and the aeronautical achievements of the Royal Navy.
