Had the privilege of a flight in XJ729 at Chivenor on Sunday which brought back all the memories of two fantastic tours there in the 70's including quite a few jobs in this particular aircraft. The cabin seemed so small after the Wessex and Sea King and it was difficult to imagine where all the kit was stowed and still left room for a stretcher when needed. Big thanks to Andrew, the owner, not only for the flight but also for keeping this grand old girl looking so good and the promise of flying her for as long as possible at his own expense, well done from all of us old sarbouys. Quite soon this will be the only yellow helicopter still flying in UK skies, not bad for a machine built in 1955!
