The Redhill HAS.7 was acquired by a friend up in Norfolk and we endeavoured to keep her airworthy for a short while. At the same time the HCC.12 became available at Redhill too - she was slowly getting derelict . She was purchased and ,oved to Norfolk. On inspection we found damage on the tailboom which had been caused by over zealous removal of corrosion. Due to the difficulties in finding a servicable replacement tailboom - the owner decided to ground her and offer her to the Helicopter Museum so they could both be preserved in the U.K.
