EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a Westland Wessex HC2 helicopter, registration XT-???, of No103 Squadron, soars over the iconic causeway linking Singapore and Malaysia in September 1973. Based at SAF Tengah in Singapore, this British-built, twin-engine, multi-role helicopter was a common sight during that era, providing essential transport and support services for the Singapore Armed Forces. The Wessex HC2, a versatile and reliable aircraft, was widely used for various missions, including troop transport, medical evacuation, search and rescue, and maritime patrol. Its distinctive silhouette, with its large, open cabin and twin rotors, is a testament to the advanced technology and engineering prowess of the time. The main causeway, an engineering marvel that connects the two countries, stretches out below, framed by the crystal-clear waters of the Straits of Johor. The helicopter's shadow casts an intriguing pattern on the water, adding depth and dimension to the image. This photograph captures a moment in time when the Wessex HC2 was an integral part of the Singaporean military landscape, symbolizing the close ties between the two nations and the vital role that aviation played in their defense and development. The image is a poignant reminder of the past, offering a glimpse into the rich history of military aviation in the region.
