Spent today thinking of another Wessex trip some while back.
I was teamed up for a rush job to take the RUC's boss from NI to somewhere sneaky, and wound up in a crab Wessex2. On way home we spotted a Nuke submarine cruising southwards between Isle of Man and NI.
I talked the Captain (and if you knew the late Roy C, you'll know it wasn't hard) in to wiring it most regally. Several close and low flybys later with many a wing over and torque turn thrown in, we continued to Aldergrove whereupon he's dragged off for a boll*cking.
Should only do that sort of thing in a pusser's Mk5. Even Fishheads have the nouse to hate crabs
Thanks for the pics 965. I'm flying one of those! Talking of autostab, the wessex had one too.
I always used to wonder, if the Mk5 was equipped with the Mk 19 autopilot, what utter sh1te mks 1 to 18 must have been
