EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Sikorsky S-61N helicopter, specifically G-BAKC (msn 61-703), as it gracefully lands at Redhill Aerodrome around 1980. The Sikorsky S-61N, a versatile and powerful helicopter, was manufactured by Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation between 1961 and 1977. With its distinctive twin-engine design and spacious cabin, the S-61N became a popular choice for various applications, including search and rescue, medical evacuation, and offshore oil support. In this image, we see G-BAKC, registered to Bristow Helicopters, as it descends towards the runway at Redhill Aerodrome. The helicopter's large main and tail rotors create a swirl of dust and debris, while the green and white paint scheme of the aircraft is adorned with the Bristow Helicopters logo. The crew members, dressed in aviator helmets and headsets, prepare for the landing, ensuring a safe and efficient operation. The aviation community thrived during the 1980s, and the sight of helicopters like the Sikorsky S-61N was a common occurrence at airfields and aerodromes across the world. This photograph captures the essence of that era, showcasing the beauty and power of the Sikorsky S-61N as it makes its approach to Redhill Aerodrome.
