I sure hope someone is able to put these machines to good use. I had the good fortune to be a part of the rebuild of the 3 aircraft operated by the Navy of Uraguay. After many years working on the S58 I would have to agree that the Wessex is just what the doctor ordered. We all have little quirks about the machines we fly and maintain and those were exactly the quirks that were worked out of the S58 when you move to the Wessex. Just think, the old radial engine S58 had 1500 Hp if I remember right. The Wessex has two engies at 1250!
