EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment an Agusta-Westland Wessex helicopter soars over the deck of HMS Fearless (L10) at Lee-on-Solent on 2 March 1966. The Royal Air Force (RAF) Westland Wessex, a versatile and iconic British-built helicopter, was a workhorse of the British military, capable of performing various roles including transport, anti-submarine warfare, and search and rescue. In this image, the Wessex's powerful rotors cast a shadow over the flight deck as it approaches the amphibious assault ship, HMS Fearless, which was part of the Royal Navy's 1st Commando Brigade. The ship's distinctive silhouette, with its helicopter landing pad and rows of lifeboats, provides a striking backdrop to the helicopter's graceful flight. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the synergy between the RAF and Royal Navy in their joint operations during the 1960s. This evocative image is a testament to the rich history of British military aviation and maritime power.
