Hi Brian

Following our recent telephone conversation please find attached a scanned copy
of the picture entitled Highland Rescue.

I was given the photograph at the Newtonmoor reunion following the sad closure of
RAF Leuchars. It portrays the Leuchars team sometime in the 1980’s, I believe, on exercise or callout in the Scottish Highlands. Sadly I have no further information.

Philip, my artist son, produced a pastel drawing of the photograph as a gift for me. I thought that the troops might be interested in purchasing a limited edition copy, especially as it depicts the Sea King Rescue Helicopter working in conjunction with the troops on the ground.

The Giclee print size is 16″ x11″ (40.5cm x 27.5cm)
Mounted size is 20″ x 16″ (a standard frame size.)
Price for the mounted (unframed) print is £39
Include £4.50 for package and postage within the UK
