There is (or was in june this year) a wessex parked up in one of the Hangars at Cosford, next to a rather tired navy sea king and opposite the BDR tonka GR1's. She looked complete apart from a couple of missing boxes in the cockpit. I hope this isn't the one given to Manston to destroy.
I can't remember the serial, nor can I see the photos on the ukar thread, (igs rubbish) but i'll have a look when i get home.

The 'loadie' as you so call him is in fact a CREWMAN and not a 'loadie' cos it's a helicopter. The reason being is that 'CREWMAN' is the generic term for Navs, AEOs, Air Engs and ALMs who have qualified for and therefore deemed to be qualified to operate as a CREWMAN despite just having to sit and wave at the crowds all day.
So no more bloody derisory 'loadie' thank you

Lyneham has a yellow Wessex parked on the airfield.
I have seen a line up of Wessexs somewhere but I cant remember where. It was a navy station. Hmmm cant think which one. One down south somewhere. Might have been Culdrose. Oh no actually I think I know where. Portsmouth. I had to go down and get a new F1250 and we drove past a load of old Navy ones parked up. Gosport.
