EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous event in the history of helicopter rescue operations. The fourth international Helicopter Rescue meeting is set to take place in Holland from 26th to 29th May, attracting participants and spectators from around the world. Amongst them are two Wessex helicopters from the esteemed Royal Navy's 771 Squadron. During practice for the competition, two brave WRENS (Women's Royal Naval Service) volunteered to be picked up from dinghies in Portland Harbour, showcasing their unwavering dedication and courage. The women who fearlessly took part in this exercise are identified as WREN Gaye Randle, an 18-year-old hailing all the way from Wellington, New Zealand, and WREN Kathy Williams, aged 20, representing Wantage in Berkshire. The year is 1970 when this remarkable image was captured by Mirrorpix.

As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time, it serves as a reminder of both past achievements and ongoing progress within air force operations worldwide.
