Wonderful Wessex

This craft incurred an incident during a ground run at Farnborough and was, from what I understand, somewhat badly damaged. It was later shipped off to the museum at Weston.

While on Wessex, Ferranti supplied a number of SAS units to Bristow's offshore fleet in the early 70's and it would be interesting to hear any recollections as to how the SAS performed.
