Historic Helicopters

Speechless Two
The AAC and Tracy Martin et al need to be applauded for their efforts and supported as much as possible...
Re-Wessex flying I believe the CAA have said no to the ex-mil ones as being too different from the civil version??

Wow!!! what a fantastic collection of aircraft... Must be nice to see "your" machine still looking good.

The AAC do still have their Skeeter but I believe that they've had an enormous amount of trouble of getting a servicable gearbox.

As an aside have you seen the film of the Skeeter demonstration to be found on the Castle video (I think) of Army Flying... I never knew they could be flown like that!!!
I think the Whirlwind you mentioned is now in Ireland.

Having watched the Skeeter take off the other year I don't know if they have the space for much in the lower power ranges...
As for that sight of the UH-1's and the Bo105's in formation the other year....
