EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Westland Wessex HC5 helicopter of No.28 Squadron RAF (Royal Air Force), stationed at Kai Tak International Airport in Hong Kong during August 1976. The Westland Wessex HC5, a versatile and agile helicopter, was a mainstay of the RAF's fleet during the late 1970s. Its distinctive design, featuring a twin-engine configuration and large, open cabin, made it an iconic sight in the skies above Hong Kong. The image captures the helicopter in its element, with the bustling Kai Tak Airport in the background. The airport, known for its challenging approach and landing conditions due to its proximity to the mountains and the sea, presented a unique set of challenges for the pilots of the RAF's helicopter squadrons. The Westland Wessex HC5, with its advanced capabilities and robust design, was well-equipped to handle these challenges. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily operations of the RAF's helicopter squadrons in Hong Kong during the 1970s. The helicopters were used for a variety of tasks, including search and rescue, medical evacuation, and logistical support. This image serves as a reminder of the vital role that the RAF played in supporting the civilian population of Hong Kong and contributing to the region's economic development. Overall, this photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the Westland Wessex HC5 helicopter in its element at Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong during the 1970s. It offers a unique perspective on the history of aviation and the RAF's role in supporting the people of Hong Kong during this period.
