1. Title: A Historic Moment at Farnborough: The Debut of the Bristol Type 171 Mk. 2 Sycamore VW905 at the 1948 SBAC Show. This image captures the moment when the Bristol Type 171 Mk. 2 Sycamore helicopter, registration VW905 (msn 12869), made its debut at the 1948 Society of British Aircraft Constructors (SBAC) show held at Farnborough on 8 September 1948. The Sycamore, a versatile and advanced rotorcraft designed by the Bristol Aeroplane Company, was a significant addition to the emerging field of helicopter technology. Although VW905 was later allocated a civilian registration as G-AJGU, it never bore those markings during its service life. Instead, it remained in military use until its eventual scrapping at Farnborough Airfield in December 1962. This photograph offers a glimpse into aviation history, showcasing the Sycamore's innovative design and the excitement it generated at the 1948 SBAC show. The Type 171 Mk. 2 Sycamore was a groundbreaking aircraft, capable of various roles, including transport, observation, and training. Its introduction marked a turning point in the development of rotary-wing aircraft and paved the way for future advancements in helicopter technology. This image serves as a testament to the ingenuity and progress of the aeronautical industry during the post-war era. The Sycamore's sleek lines, powerful rotors, and imposing presence make it a standout among the other aircraft at the show. The image also provides a glimpse into the atmosphere of the event, with spectators gathered around the helicopter, eager to witness the latest advancements in flight technology. This photograph is an essential addition to any aviation or historical collection, offering a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in aviation history.
