A view over Coventry Cathedral from the tower of the old cathedral, showing a RAF Belvedere helicopter lowering the 80ft bronze spire on to the roof. 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.
