Wessex HC2 - Wanted...!

Does any one know of a Wessex HC2 in need of a new home?

A couple of friends at work (aircraft engineers who need to get out more) are after a complete machine and also they want to make a large scale R/C model of one and so appreciate any leads as to where they might get drawings from.

If anyone has contacts at Westlands drawing office or with any keepers of Wessex perhg
aps you could let me know. Apparently there is one living in a hangar at Benson.

Thanks

PS I'll post this on 'Military Aircrew' as well.

The helicopter museam at Weston S Mare have some and I believe are always looking for people to help restore what they have.

There is also a little museam at Doncaster (Aeroventure?) - on the site of the old Doncaster airfield - which have some and also seek assistance for restoration.

I'm sure one or both would be grateful recipients of engineering time.

Yeah...how big a challenge do they want and where are they based?
There are several Wessex 2s,5s and even a Series 60 looking for restorers around the country.The Helicopter Museum certainly has plenty to offer and has all the manuals .There are also Mk 2s elsewhere .
