The Wessex was a very nice slingload as was the S58T.
That's fine if you just want to fly slingloads!
No envy at all, I did fly it a little but lost I too many friends who were killed flying them. I had friends in two unexplained crashes; including one that nosed in vertically from 1000 feet.
Just give me my favourite aircraft, the "Super Wessex", namely a Blackhawk any day (or night). The best helicopter the RAF never had.
