EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Westland Wessex HC.2 XV724 of the Royal Air Force's (RAF) No. 22 Squadron is seen parked on the tarmac at RAF Marham in the 1980s. The Westland Wessex, a versatile and agile helicopter, was a mainstay of the RAF's search and rescue (SAR) fleet during that era. The image captures the distinctive features of the Wessex, with its twin engines, large searchlight mounted on the nose, and the distinctive red crosses of the SAR markings adorning the fuselage. The helicopter's doors are open, revealing the spacious interior, which was designed to accommodate both rescue personnel and the equipment necessary for SAR missions. No. 22 Squadron, based at RAF Valley in Anglesey, Wales, was one of the RAF's busiest SAR units during the 1980s. The squadron's helicopters were tasked with conducting search and rescue operations in the challenging and often inhospitable environment of the Irish Sea. The Wessex HC.2 was an essential asset in these missions, with its advanced avionics, powerful engines, and versatile design allowing it to operate in a range of weather conditions and terrain types. The photograph provides a glimpse into the past, showcasing the vital role that the RAF's Westland Wessex helicopters played in saving lives during the 1980s. The image is a testament to the bravery and skill of the pilots and crew members who operated these remarkable machines, and serves as a reminder of the crucial role that the RAF's SAR units continue to play in protecting the lives of those in need.
