EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of intense action and bravery as a RAF Rescue helicopter hovers above the Second Severn Crossing construction site during an emergency rescue exercise. The image showcases the remarkable skill and precision of these courageous pilots, who risk their lives to save others in times of crisis. Taken in the 1990s, this photograph is part of a series that documents an emergency rescue exercise at the construction site. The towering bridge under construction serves as a dramatic backdrop, emphasizing the importance of civil engineering in connecting communities and ensuring safety. The image exudes a sense of urgency and tension, with the helicopter suspended mid-air against a cloudy sky. Its powerful rotors create gusts of wind that stir up dust particles below, adding to the dynamic atmosphere captured by this shot. As we admire this historical snapshot from A© Historic England Archive, it reminds us not only of the incredible capabilities possessed by our armed forces but also highlights their unwavering commitment to safeguarding lives. This photograph stands as a tribute to all those involved in emergency rescues – brave men and women who selflessly put themselves on the line for others' well-being.
