EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from June 1976, we are transported back to a time when the Royal Air Force's search and rescue operations were in full swing. Lt Dave White stands tall at the center, exuding confidence as he commands D Flight of the esteemed 22 Squadron. By his side are his trusted crew members: Master Navigator Ron Dedmen, whose expertise ensures precision in their missions, and winch man Sgt Steve Lynch, ready to descend into any situation with unwavering bravery. The Wessex helicopter takes pride of place in this image, replacing its predecessor - the Whirlwind - which can be seen fading into the background. This powerful machine symbolizes progress and innovation within the RAF's fleet during that era. Surrounded by their dedicated ground crew at Leconfield airbase in East Riding, Yorkshire, Lt Dave White and his team epitomize camaraderie and professionalism. The hangar behind them serves as a reminder of countless hours spent preparing for daring rescues that saved lives across England. This photograph is not just a snapshot frozen in time; it represents an entire decade defined by resilience and heroism. It captures a moment where duty called upon these pilots to go above and beyond for their country. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history through Memory Lane Prints' lens, we pay tribute to those who served selflessly in the skies over our beloved United Kingdom during one of its most transformative periods.
