Operation Rich Man JLP01_08_062441b

COVENTRY CATHEDRAL, PRIORY STREET, COVENTRY. Looking from the roof of Coventry Cathedral towards a RAF Belvedere helicopter parked on the tarmac below, showing a crowd gathered to watch at the Pool Meadow Bus Station to the north of the cathedral.
The photograph was taken during Operation Rich Man a joint project involving Royal Air Force staff and Laing staff. This involved a RAF Belvedere helicopter hoisting in to place the 80ft bronze spire on to the new cathedral. The part of the operation to lower the 1/2 ton cross that sits on top of the spire had to be postponed due to windy conditions
