Aaaah, Wessex!

Lovely aircraft to fly...but provided some amusing moments with ground resonance on board ship - broken legs off the float canisters etc. I believe the "computers" got a bit tetchy towards the end as well.

Still, when Sikorsky built the Blackhawk they took the best bit - the tail wheel, which must have saved a lot of enthusiastic young pilots from gouging holes in the ground with their airframes. (Puma, Lynx, NH90, EH101 etc etc)
