But there was also an earlier Wessex at Farnborough - single Napier Gazelle powered Mk 1?(as opposed to twin Gnomes).can't remember the reg but it's in my logbook.
OC Flying was booked for solo C/T in it one day, and I scrounged and had the time of my life being taught how to hover, lift off, land, transition etc. Touchdown was easy; when you felt the mainwheels touch, dump the collective; liftoff was far more complicated involving sychronised (well almost anyway!) movements of the controls in order to achieve a 'clean' lift ie collective as well as cyclic and yaw.
