Good Morning Officer, Won t Be A Minute: A policeman keeps a careful watch as a helicopter hovers low over Londons Belgravia. The helicopter dropped in to hoist three giant generators on to the roof of the Carlton Towers Hotel. With a mammoth crane the operation would have taken three days and caused chaotic traffic jams. The airlift on Sunday morning (30-9-73) took just twelve minutes and no one got a parking ticket.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Good Morning Officer, Won't Be A Minute: A moment frozen in time captures the diligent watch of a dedicated policeman as a helicopter gracefully hovers low over London's prestigious Belgravia. This extraordinary scene unfolded on September 30th, 1973 when three colossal generators needed to be transported onto the roof of the Carlton Towers Hotel. In an ingenious display of efficiency and ingenuity, this aerial operation replaced what would have been a three-day ordeal with chaotic traffic jams. With the assistance of a mammoth crane, this audacious airlift was completed in just twelve minutes. Remarkably, not a single parking ticket was issued during this daring feat. The photograph encapsulates the essence of law and order prevailing amidst unusual circumstances. The Western Wessex helicopter stands as both an emblematic symbol and testament to human innovation and collaboration. It serves as a reminder that even in times when challenges seem insurmountable, there are those who rise above adversity to find unconventional solutions. This snapshot from Memory Lane Prints transports us back to an era where aviation marvels like these were rare occurrences that captivated public imagination. Let it serve as inspiration for future generations; reminding us that sometimes all it takes is one well-executed plan to overcome seemingly impossible obstacles.
