Ramu the killer whale is captured in mid-leap in this authentic 1970s colour photograph, documenting a performance at the Royal Windsor Dolphinarium within Windsor Safari Park in 1971. The archival image shows the orca breaching the surface of the pool, aimed toward an orange ball suspended above the water. Two trainers, dressed in characteristic all-white uniforms, observe the display from a wooden platform marked with “Royal Windsor Dolphinarium” and “Embassy – the best in smoking” advertising. The backdrop features low-profile white buildings with porthole-style windows and an “EXIT” door, set against the dense woodland of the Berkshire park. This factual record preserves a significant era of British zoological attractions during the early 1970s, showcasing the popular but controversial marine mammal exhibits of the period before Ramu’s eventual transfer to SeaWorld.
