EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the 1970s as we witness a remarkable act of compassion and innovation. The image showcases a RAF Westland Puma helicopter gracefully hovering above the garden of Marcia Avenue in Shotton Colliery. At the controls is Flt-Lieut. George Blackie, an experienced pilot with the Royal Air Force. What makes this scene truly extraordinary is the purpose behind this aerial operation - lowering a home dialysis unit into young Howard Gustard's garden. As an 18-year-old kidney patient, Howard's life has been significantly impacted by his condition. However, thanks to the ingenuity and dedication of these military professionals, he now has access to life-saving treatment within the comfort of his own home. The photograph captures both awe-inspiring machinery and heartfelt humanity. It serves as a poignant reminder that amidst their duties in protecting our skies, members of the air force also play vital roles in improving lives on land. This snapshot freezes a moment where flying technology intersects with medical progress, showcasing how advancements in aerospace can have profound effects beyond traditional military applications. It stands as a testament to human resilience and determination to overcome adversity through collaboration between different fields. As we gaze upon this historical gem captured by NCJ, let us celebrate not only aviation achievements but also those unsung heroes who use their skills for benevolent purposes like Flt-Lieut. George Blackie and his team did on that memorable day in April
