EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous scene from the aviation history of Somerset. Westland Helicopters, nestled in Yeovil, played a pivotal role in constructing the renowned Westland-Sikorsky W. S. 51 under license from the esteemed American company Sikorsky. Regarded as one of the early triumphs in helicopter engineering, this magnificent aircraft soared to great heights. In 1953, after an impressive production run resulting in approximately 139 helicopters being built, this particular snapshot showcases one such marvel gracefully descending upon Nether Compton's village green in Devon during August 1969. As it touched down on this idyllic landing spot, local children eagerly gathered around to witness its arrival and extend their warm greetings. The image perfectly encapsulates a sense of wonder and excitement that permeated through both young hearts and seasoned aviation enthusiasts alike during those times. The sight of these innocent faces beaming with joy while waving at the helicopter exemplifies the profound impact that technological advancements can have on communities.
