EDITORS COMMENTS
. Youngsters were treated to an extraordinary experience as they gathered at the Bowes Railway Museum for its annual festival. The museum, located in Washington, organized a special day exclusively for hundreds of pupils who were granted a well-deserved break from their school routine. Among the 400 enthusiastic attendees from Sunderland and Gateshead was Springwell Village School, eager to explore the wonders that awaited them. The highlight of the event was undoubtedly the presence of some of the most exceptional helicopters known to mankind. A particular crowd favorite was the colossal Sikorsky Sea Stallion, affectionately referred to as the Jolly Green Giant by members of American 21st Special Ops Squadron. Its awe-inspiring size and remarkable history left everyone mesmerized. Adding melody and rhythm to this thrilling occasion were talented musicians from Farringdon School in Sunderland. Their band, Far Sun, filled the air with enchanting tunes that perfectly complemented the atmosphere buzzing with excitement. Captured in this timeless print is seven-year-old Natalie Young from Shiney Row, beaming with joy as she sits inside one of these combat rescue helicopters. Her wide-eyed wonder encapsulates what this unforgettable day meant for all those fortunate enough to attend. This memorable event marked its ninth successful year at Bowes Railway Museum and served as a testament to how aerospace marvels continue captivating young minds even decades later.
