EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to November 19,1997, when Marden High School in Whitley Bay had the honor of hosting a visit from a Royal Navy Sea King helicopter. The image captures the excitement and awe on the faces of two individuals as they engage with this impressive aircraft. Fifteen-year-old Helen Lockey takes center stage as she fearlessly tries out the winch on the helicopter. With guidance from Chief Aircrewman Paul "Pops". Coombes, Helen experiences firsthand what it feels like to be part of a military rescue operation. Her youthful curiosity and determination shine through her expression, reflecting an eagerness to explore new horizons. The presence of this majestic Sea King helicopter at Marden High School not only serves as an aerospace spectacle but also symbolizes courage and heroism associated with the Royal Navy. This powerful machine has undoubtedly been involved in countless lifesaving missions over its service history. As we delve into this nostalgic snapshot from Memory Lane Prints, we are reminded of how technology can inspire young minds and ignite dreams that soar beyond imagination. It is a testament to the enduring impact that such visits have on students' lives – igniting passions for aviation or even motivating future careers in military service. This photograph encapsulates both historical significance and personal triumphs while offering us a glimpse into an era where adventure was just one flight away.
