EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Westland Whirlwind HAR.10 XP356 B helicopter of the Royal Air Force (RAF), stationed at RAF Little Rissington during the late 1960s or early 1970s. The Westland Whirlwind was a versatile, twin-engine helicopter that served the RAF for various roles, including helicopter flying training. RAF Little Rissington, located in the English Cotswolds, holds the distinction of being the highest active airfield in the British Isles, with an altitude of 223 metres (732 ft) Above Mean Sea Level (AMSL). The unique location presented challenges for aviation, but the Whirlwind's capabilities allowed it to thrive in this environment. In this image, the Whirlwind HAR.10 XP356 B is seen parked on the tarmac, displaying its distinctive red, white, and blue RAF colours. The helicopter's twin engines are visible, as well as its large, open cockpit and spacious cabin. The Central Flying School (CFS) emblem is prominently displayed on the side of the helicopter, indicating its role in training RAF pilots. The Westland Whirlwind was a vital part of the RAF's aviation fleet during this era, and its service at RAF Little Rissington highlights the challenges and triumphs of operating helicopters in high-altitude environments. This photograph is an intriguing glimpse into the history of helicopter aviation in the British military.
