What is going on in this picture
 

I am a member of the CU Forum, someone referred me here with this question:

I don't have any questions about the autograph, but instead about the picture. My son put in a good 1-2 hours researching it this morning. Below is what we came up with and what we don't know.

Known:

1. Photo is an 8x10 stamped on the back by "Fay Foto Service, Inc. 45 W. Canton St., Boston. KEN 0018." Front of photo has a notation that is part of the photograph: "F4273-13."
2. Photo pictures Ted Williams wearing an overcoat, standing next to a young woman. The woman is not his wife from his playing days, Doris Soule.

Guesses:
1. This photo appears to have been taken in left-center field at Fenway Park. Note the outfield door at the right edge and the advertising signs. Does anyone else think this is correct?

Unknowns:
1. Why is there a helicopter on the field at Fenway Park?
2. What is the helicopter? The tail has a decal on it that says "Wo____'s ______arron-An____." We tried the following two words on Google with no success:

"Woody's Sharron"
"Woody's Barron"
"World's Sharron"
"World's Barron"

3. Can this photo be dated? Perhaps a way to see vintage pictures of the interior of Fenway to see if the signage matches up?
4. I am not too experienced with "type" photos. Is this a "type" photo, and if so, which type?





Thanks for any information anyone can provide.

I know Williams was a pilot, did he fly helicopters also? Whether he did or not maybe it is him returning from Korea and the Red Sox welcoming him back.

Someone on CU just guessed that some of the wording on the tail of helicopter may be "Barron-Anderson," for "Barron-Anderson" topcoats, and since he is wearing a topcoat that does make some sense.

Just a guess but could the top word be woolworths. If they were selling the coats for them a promo may have been done at fenway park.

Excuse me for popping in, but I love mysteries.

It is Barron Anderson, and the word above it on the helicopter is 'Worumbo'

Makes much more sense than woolworths. were a fabric mill in Maine that made coats.
