| Description | A car labelled 'Whirlybird Euro-aid' with 'We shall overcome' written in the back window and a British flag in the front is being crushed by a vehicle driven by Norman Tebbit labelled 'Pro-Sikorsky task force'. Michael Heseltine is being carried off by Leon Brittan, William Whitelaw, and a man labeled 'Mayhew'. Two men smoking cigars roll out barbed wire while a third kicks pots and pans about next to a sign saying 'Yanks go home'. Thatcher admires herself in the mirror. In the background someone salutes an American flag which is being raised next to a building labeled 'Westland' which helicopters stand outside of.
Context: Heseltine and Thatcher publicly clashed over whether to take a European or American takeover offer for Westland, with Heseltine pushing for the European offer. |
