Fifteen-year-old Helen Lockey takes center stage as she fearlessly tries out the winch on the helicopter. With guidance from Chief Aircrewman Paul "Pops". Coombes, Helen experiences firsthand what it feels like to be part of a military rescue operation. Her youthful curiosity and determination shine through her expression, reflecting an eagerness to explore new horizons.
