EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vintage photograph, taken on 18 February 1959, we see Albert Batchelor, a local resident of Helston, Cornwall, embarking on an extraordinary birthday celebration. At the age of 90, Albert fulfilled a lifelong dream of flying in a helicopter, taking off from Helston Air Station. The helicopter, with its distinctive blades and sleek design, stands ready on the tarmac, providing a unique mode of transport for Albert's special day. The excitement in Albert's expression is palpable as he prepares to climb aboard the helicopter, surrounded by a group of onlookers who have gathered to witness this momentous occasion. The helicopter, an impressive piece of machinery, represents the cutting-edge technology of the time, offering a bird's-eye view of the beautiful Cornish countryside. Helston Air Station, located in the heart of Cornwall, was an important military base during the Second World War, and continued to operate as a transport hub for both military and civilian aircraft in the post-war era. The sight of a helicopter taking off from the station would have been a common occurrence, but few could have imagined that a 90-year-old local resident would be the one to experience this thrill. This photograph captures a moment of joy, adventure, and accomplishment, as Albert Batchelor fulfills a dream that many could only imagine. The helicopter, the air station, and the spirit of adventure come together to create a memory that Albert and those present will cherish forever.
