EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from June 1992, we see John Wilkes proudly displaying his replica model of the Cornwall First Air Ambulance. As a member of the Cornwall Modelling Society, John showcased his masterpiece at their exhibition held in Lostwithiel Community Centre. The attention to detail is remarkable as he meticulously recreated every aspect of the MBB Bolkow BO105 air ambulance, complete with its registration number G-AZTI. This stunning model served a greater purpose beyond being admired by aviation enthusiasts. The Modelling Society selflessly decided to raffle off John's creation to raise funds for the Air Ambulance service in Cornwall. This act of generosity demonstrates their commitment to supporting emergency rescue efforts and providing aid when it is needed most. The photograph captures not only the intricate paintbrush strokes that brought this model helicopter to life but also symbolizes the spirit of community and compassion within Cornwall. It serves as a reminder that even hobbies can have a profound impact on people's lives and contribute towards noble causes. Jonathan Barker skillfully captured this momentous occasion, immortalizing both John Wilkes' dedication and the collective effort made by members of the Modelling Society. This print stands as a testament to how individuals can come together through shared interests and make a positive difference in their local community without any commercial motives involved.
