DescriptionDepicts two helicopter platforms on top of two different buildings. One building is labelled with 'Sikorsky-Fiat Heliport', 'rescue offer and 'New improved offer.' Margaret Thatcher is standing on the helicopter platform labelled 'Amazing latest offer above the first building, trying to wave at an approaching helicopter labelled 'Westland Shareholders.' Michael Heseltine is standing on the other helicopter platform labelled 'Far better offer than the other chaps.' He is above a building labelled 'Euro Heliport', 'Last minute offer and 'New increased offer.' He is also trying to rope the helicopter over to his platform. The people in the helicopter look confused.

[This likely refers to the Westland issue between Thatcher and Heseltine, where Thatcher wanted to join forces with the Americans and Sikorsky-Fiat and Heseltine wanted to join forces with Europe.]
