EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, the Bell 47G-5 helicopter with the registration number G-AZMB, owned by Trent Air Services Ltd., is seen gracefully parked at Cranfield Airport in the late 1980s. The Bell 47G-5, manufactured by Bell Helicopter Textron, is a versatile and iconic aircraft that first took to the skies in 1946. This particular model, with the manufacturing serial number 2639, is a later variant that was produced between 1968 and 1972. The Bell 47G-5 is a single-engine, single-main-rotor helicopter, renowned for its reliability and ease of operation. Its distinctive design, with a large fenestron tail, allowed for increased efficiency and reduced noise levels compared to earlier models with conventional tail rotors. This helicopter was a popular choice for both civilian and military applications, including air medical services, law enforcement, and utility work. In this image, the Bell 47G-5 at Cranfield Airport appears in pristine condition, its metallic finish gleaming in the sunlight. The helicopter's distinctive red and white stripes, along with the Trent Air Services Ltd. logo, add a touch of professionalism and sophistication to the scene. The surrounding environment, with the green grass and trees, provides a picturesque backdrop that highlights the helicopter's sleek lines and imposing presence. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of the Bell 47G-5 and the important role it played in the history of helicopter aviation. It offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing a time when helicopters were just beginning to become a common sight in the skies above.
