AHHHHH the Wessex..a lovely old bird. It taught me how to get the best out of a heavy /underpowered machine..which is paying dividends now flying the UH-1D. It was quite forgiving, but didn't like being downwind, as I found out with 'Windy' in Castlederg..and yep the inerta switches do go off at 4G...bounced right back up into the air ..still flyable! Got chinooked back to V813 and then 'queenmaried' to Benson...still have the piccies and the sore back to prove it. EESDL even showed me some spiral death-dives in one. Hey EESDL..are you doing that to your studes in your Tincano?
