A rare 50 year old slide of Bristol Sycamore XG518 during an actual desert rescue. Slide dated 1963.
I aquired this Kodak slide in the 70s via a work collegue "Mark De-silva, ex RAF" of Berkshire. Copyright passed to me.
This Sycamore is now restored in the Norfolk and Suffolk museum in Flixton.
So come on you old wrinklies, is there anyone out there remember this Helicopter during its operational life and afterwards upto its present resting place?
I know its a long shot but I would also like to know where this Sycamore was operating in 1963, to give me some idea of the location.
I have vague recollections that Mark told me it was at one of the Near/Middle East RAF staging posts.
OPF
Mods, May I ask that if you feel this is better in "Rotary" forum, that it be left here for a while under the wider scope of this Forum.
