It captures the iconic RAF Westland Whirlwind, XN 127, of the Queens Flight, being piloted by none other than Prince Philip himself. The helicopter is seen leaving Durham County Hall at Aykley Heads after its official opening ceremony by the Prince. The year was 1963 when this snapshot was taken, and it perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the aerospace industry during that era. The sleek design of the military aircraft showcases its power and agility as it prepares to embark on its journey to Billingham. Surrounded by a small group of people with varying ages, one can only imagine their excitement and awe at witnessing such an extraordinary event unfold before their eyes.
