EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Charles E. Brown for the Royal Air Force Museum, showcases a formidable collection of Westland Whirlwind helicopters from 705 Squadron, based at RNAS Ford in 1957. The image encapsulates the postwar evolution of helicopter technology and the Fleet Air Arm's commitment to innovation and versatility. In the foreground, we find the Sikorsky Whirlwind HAS.22 (WV222), a variant of the American-designed Whirlwind that was license-built in the UK. Its distinctive twin-boom configuration and large, paddle-bladed rotor make it an instantly recognizable icon of the era. The HAS.22 was primarily used for anti-submarine warfare, equipped with a dipping sonar and depth charges. Behind the HAS.22, we see three Westland Whirlwind HAS.3 helicopters (XG580 525, XG576 526, and XG582 529). These British-designed helicopters were an improvement over their American counterparts, featuring a more powerful engine, improved avionics, and a redesigned rotor system. The HAS.3 was also versatile, capable of performing various roles, including anti-submarine warfare, search and rescue, and utility transport. The Westland Whirlwind marked a significant step forward in helicopter technology and the Royal Navy's helicopter capabilities. Its introduction into service allowed the Fleet Air Arm to expand its operational reach and adapt to the evolving threat landscape of the postwar era. This photograph serves as a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the engineers and pilots who brought these remarkable machines to life.
