Managed to amass FOUR half crown/sixpence episodes in TWO days Wessex flying. returning from Winter/Icing trials in the 70s. Eventually ended up in a playing field at North Foreland being hosed down by the local Fire Brigade as an antidote to possible Foot-and-Mouth infection!!!
Think mid December temperatures!!
Fond of the Wessex??? Hmm, I'll 'take the Fifth' - to (mis)quote our transatlantic cousins - especially as a long-time and TOTALLY committed fan of the Whirlwind -all versions. Someone once suggested to me that the Wessex was just a Whirlwind with SAS - Never!! compared to the ultra-light cyclic input on the Whirly, the Wessex was a big lumpy pudding stirring experience - even SAS out, it lacked finesse.
Given the previous posts, maybe one should consider taking cover!!
