"Sea King chopper – widely regarded by the RAF as the most difficult and dangerous to fly."

I'm never going in one of those buggers again.:eek:

If you're interested, I have been informed that Wokka will not be showing at S'end airshow this year. Shame! as in my mind it was one of the highlights of the show :{

1.4G - might be a tad difficult - as an Essex bird, I'm wearing the old white stilettos in every photo I have.........:rolleyes:

Nice to see that were welcome. Normally only low flying complaints that chase us to see where we've been.

Does anyone know if there is an online map or list of people who do want a little visit? It might occasionally help in the planning stages to have a simulated pickup point/drop off. At least that way we can take the noise to people who appreciate it. My favourite is a farmer in Wales who complains when we don't use his field often enough. Then when we do he arranges for about 15 people to be there and welcome us with a wave:ok:.

It makes me proud to serve again.:O

SIA - Thanks your NICE comment! :) I obviously, cannot answer your question, being just only a lowly 'Wokka groupie', however I would ask that if ever such a list is produced that my coordinates are included!!!! I would always greet you with a wave and a smile ;)

Would love to see you but I live in a "no low fly zone" along the south coast and no view of the channel where I have often heard you clatter.
