EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the Mary Evans Picture Library, we find ourselves transported back in time to the idyllic setting of the Royal Aeronautical Society's Garden Party on the 15th of June 1952. The scene is filled with the vibrant colors and rich history of aviation's past. At the heart of the image, the Westland-Sikorsky WS-51 Mk.1A G-ALIK (msn WA/H/3) takes center stage. This helicopter, manufactured by the Westland-Sikorsky partnership, was a significant development in rotary-wing aviation technology. Its distinctive design and innovative features made it a standout among its contemporaries. In the background, we catch a glimpse of another iconic aircraft, British European Airways Bell 47B-3 G-AKFB. The Bell 47 was a versatile helicopter that had already made its mark in the aviation world. Its presence at the garden party underscores the burgeoning popularity of helicopters during this era. The Westland-Sikorsky WS-51 Mk.1A G-ALIK would go on to make history as the prototype for the Westland Widgeon, a successful amphibian aircraft. After its conversion, the registration was changed to G-APPS. This transformation is a testament to the adaptability and ingenuity of aviation engineers during this time. As we admire this photograph, we are reminded of the spirit of innovation and progress that characterized the early days of rotary-wing aviation. The Royal Aeronautical Society Garden Party on the 15th of June 1952 was more than just a social event; it was a celebration of the past, present, and future of aviation.
