Andrew Besley Cottages Helicopter Sennen Trinity
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Trinity Service Helicopter landing on the sandy shores of Sennen Cove in Cornwall, England, with the quaint thatched-roof Sennen Cottages nestled in the background. The image, taken by renowned photographer Andrew Besley, transports us back in time to an era when helicopter transport was a novelty and a vital lifeline for remote communities. The Trinity House Service Helicopter was a vital part of the maritime rescue and communication network in the UK, operating from 1966 until 2006. The helicopter, based at Trinity House in London, was responsible for providing essential services to lighthouse keepers, fishermen, and other mariners in peril. The helicopter's distinctive red and white stripes and the Trinity House insignia on its fuselage are clearly visible in this photograph. Sennen Cove, located on the Atlantic coast of Cornwall, has a rich history dating back to the Bronze Age. The cottages in the photograph, with their traditional Cornish thatch roofs, have been a constant feature of the landscape for centuries. The cottages were once home to fishermen and their families, who made their living from the bountiful waters of the North Atlantic. The photograph captures a moment in time when the modern marvel of helicopter transport met the ancient traditions of a coastal community. The Trinity Service Helicopter brought much-needed supplies and assistance to the people of Sennen Cove, while the cottages stood as a testament to the resilience and ingenuity of those who called this rugged coastline home.
