Wessex V

They look in good condition - what a pity that a lack of spares caused them to be grounded.

The pictures brought back many memories, prompted especially by the wooden collective grip, the SSLs and the huge torgue meter!

It was a great aircraft to fly.

What a pity Westlands marketing and support was so poor. If they had been on the ball the S-58T would never have made it.
