EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Westland Wessex 60 Series 1, registration G-AWOX (msn WA686), in flight during the late 1960s. The Westland Wessex, a versatile and iconic British-built helicopter, was first introduced in 1961 and quickly gained popularity for its ability to perform various roles, including search and rescue, military transport, and maritime patrol. The helicopter in this image, with its distinctive orange and grey color scheme, is seen in its element as it soars through the sky. The Westland Wessex 60 Series 1 was an upgraded version of the original model, featuring more powerful engines and improved performance. With a maximum speed of around 130 mph and a range of over 500 miles, this helicopter was a formidable presence in the world of aviation. The photograph captures the moment of pure flight, as the Wessex slices through the clouds, leaving a trail of vapor in its wake. The image is a testament to the power and grace of this remarkable aircraft, which served in the Royal Navy and other military forces around the world for decades. The Westland Wessex remains an enduring symbol of British aviation innovation and a reminder of the thrill and excitement of flight.
