Shawbury Whirlwinds (re-posted from Rotorheads)

[Rigga]

From 1976-80 the Shawbury hangars were used as follows, working from North to South:

North Hangar - Whirlwind Line - up to 12 parked in there for Line use

Next Door was the HSF Hangar. Initially used for maintenance of 4xWW (North end) and at least 4x Gazelles (South end) and eventually 1x Wessex (South West corner)

Next was the Gazelle Line which was shared with UAS Bulldogs (and later the Wessex too)

Southern-most was the "Marshall" Hangar, Used for Jet Provost (JP3's I think) Chipmunk and Bulldog parking and maintenance.

I have some pics of WW's in the HSF hangar and waiting for ground runs...but I'm 200+ miles from them for few days!
