This shot of an Air Sea Rescue Wessex helicopter was taken during
an exercise between coastguards and the rescue service. We
arrived on the scene at Flamborough by accident to find hundreds
of people watching.
Many had cameras, but I only saw a few shots taken. What a waste
of an opportunity.
I believe in shooting plenty of film if the subject presents
itself. Here I used a full slide film and two mono films.
Results have been used on TV news, in magazines and in
competitions. In the latter case a £50 prize camera from the
manufacturer of the lens used - a 70/210 Series 1 Vivitar.
As an aside, this can seem unfair. For that £50, Vivitar used
this picture in a series of magazine promotions. That should have
been worth hundreds of pounds to me - but the rules said winning
shots could be used as the promoters wished for no further
payment !
