Not quite the last word,. .. .I have today received from the very pilot who so enthralled me, a very nice two pager, explaining why he was off the beaten track, and why he decided to put on the impromptu display, he went to great lengths to explain how he flew the machine on that day and that he handed my letter to his crew who all felt very happy to see that someone somewhere was drooling over the antics of their Wsx, the letter finished by stating that after an eight formation flypast in London, then various other RAF bases these birds will finish up at good old Shawbury on their very last flight later in March o2, the Heli I saw on that spectacular day was 40 years old, and the only Wsx left flying after March, will be in Cyprus and these have been given a 1 year extention.. . I can say without doubt, this is one of the nicest letters I have ever received from a young man, who it seems is a very proud member of the Royal Air Force! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" />
