I hope when it eventually retires it goes to a museum like Weston or Duxford, the work its done and the lives its saved it desrves that.
I totally agree, however Bristow is a business so when OC is surplus to requirements I'm sure it will be sold to the highest bidder. The reason there are so many Wessex 60s & whirlwinds in museums is that they had no value. I really do hope that OC continues to fly because it strikes me that with the heavily modified config the 4 SAR machines are oddballs & are thus likelty to be broken up for spares.
