EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Fairchild-Hiller FH-1100, specifically G-AVTG (msn 10), during a charter operation at RAF Wethersfield in 1968. The Fairchild-Hiller FH-1100 was a versatile helicopter designed for various roles, including cargo lifting, passenger transport, and medical evacuation. G-AVTG, with its distinctive red and white livery, was operated by Rent-a-Copter Ltd., a leading helicopter charter company during that era. The helicopter's powerful engines and advanced design made it a popular choice for aerial work, providing unparalleled performance and reliability. However, despite its impressive capabilities, G-AVTG's tenure in aviation was short-lived. On 23 February 1973, the helicopter was permanently withdrawn from use. This photograph captures a moment in time when G-AVTG was still in operation, showcasing the elegance and power of this iconic aircraft. The Fairchild-Hiller FH-1100 was a significant contribution to the field of aviation, paving the way for advancements in helicopter technology and design. This photograph serves as a reminder of the rich history of aviation and the remarkable machines that have shaped the skies.
