Wessex 31B Royal Australian Navy

G'day all...I am new to the forum, but also have a keen interest in the Wessex. Don;t quit know why, but a great looking aircraft me thinks Anyhow here is a pic of RAN Wessex Mk31B at the Eden Wharf in Southern NSW in 1986(RAN Official) This aircraft was evetually destroyed at the fireground at HMAS Albatross in Nowra NSW after being struck off charge. I can remember clearly watching the Wessex at airshows at Nowra in the 70's and 80's. They were quite a fixture here in their day, constantly flying up and down the coast. A real workhorse.
