EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the Westland Whirlwind HAR.10 XP351 of the Royal Air Force, belonging to No. 22 Squadron RAF, on standby for a rescue call-out on a frosty morning circa 1965. The aircraft, with serial number WA367, was later transferred to training duties as 8672M before being preserved at the Gatwick Aviation Museum.
The image showcases the sleek design and powerful presence of this iconic helicopter, ready to spring into action at a moment's notice. The cold winter morning adds an extra layer of drama to the scene, highlighting the bravery and dedication of those who serve in search and rescue missions.
As we admire this historic snapshot from decades past, we are reminded of the important role that these aircraft play in saving lives and protecting our communities. The Westland Whirlwind HAR.10 XP351 is not just a machine but a symbol of hope and safety for those in need.
