Having flown many times as a passenger of the Wessex and Lynx picking us up from Carrickmore it's great to hear these tales.
Two questions,around 83-84 who bounced the wheel of the Wessex off the sangar roof at Carrickmore,scared the crap out of me as I was in it at the time,and there was one Wessex pilot who flew wearing brown cowboy boots, everyone strapped in rather tightly when we saw them as the flights were always "interesting"did everyone think he was nuts or was it just us.
