The Spitfire and C-47 episodes were very good indeed!

The Wessex didn't need a lot as it was rebuilt before being retired in true military fashion. They operate the Whirlwind too and and are putting a Lynx and Sea King back in the air.

RAF SAR Sea King running on the farcebook link in the above site and has a CAA permit to test.
