The Westland Whirlwind was initially used for air-sea rescue (ASR) missions before being replaced by the Westland Sea King. Both aircraft were prominent along the British coastline due to their bright yellow coloring. The Westland Wessex was utilized by the RAF for various purposes, including search and rescue operations. In 1968, the Aérospatiale Puma was introduced into service with the RAF, and it remains in operation today. The Boeing Chinook, which entered service in 1981, was specifically deployed in the Falklands War and continues to serve the RAF today. With 180 photographs, this book serves as a visual compendium of these iconic machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 243 x 170 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781802822397\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chris Goss","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44101068685562,"sku":"9781802822397","price":11.41,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1676642318868_book.jpg?v=1676912826","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/raf-helicopters-of-the-70s-and-80s-9781802822397","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
