212man was in knee pants when the Wessex was around....I bet he never flew a Sikorsky with a great big radial engine....and probably never even saw one with two HUGE radials.

(For the youngsters.....CH-34 (S-58) or CH37 Mojave (S-56))

The 58 had a wonderful auto pilot...unless some one down below opened the cabin door while the BarAlt was engaged. The 56 had a very commodious cockpit...even Nick Lappos could move around in the thing without need of a can of Crisco.

If you liked the Wessex....you would have loved the 37.
