Three or four engines.....long ladder to get into the cabin....narrow as a sausage....oh yeah right it would have beat the Chinook! Even the RAF is celebrating thirty years of flying the Chinook.

Some of us are celebrating 44-45 years of flying Chinooks....and in the future there shall be Kids celebrating 90 years.

We should also recall the Wessex was originally designed by Sikorsky and some variants are still flying in commercial service today fifty plus years later.
