Helicopter Crash - 29th October 1965

In recognition of help given in the recovery of a crashed helicopter from the River Torridge, the RAF Chivenor air rescue team presented to the Fording Trials Branch, Technical Group REME, of Instow, part of the crashed helicopter with letter 'D' added to the word 'rescue' plus an inscription.
The photograph shows Flight Lieutenant Bob Jones handing over the 'trophy' to Major Donald Dudbridge of REME. Standing by Major Dudbridge is WO11 E Drummond who was one of the shallow water divers at the recovery of the helicopter.
