For you Wessex lovers

I was doing my thing today in Kent when I noticed in someone's yard three Wessex one looked complete with its blades folded a la navy. One was missing its blades and the other I don't remember to much about. They looked like they were temporarily stored there. They were painted in camouflage.

If you want to have a look TQ497608

Maybe one of you know more....

These are possibly the three at Badger's Mount - all HC2's, XR502, XV722, XV731. Just off the A224 London Road?

I think these still belong to a gentleman who has been trying for the past several years to convince the CAA to let him put one on the civil register...and failing.Previously he operated at least one of the ex Bristow machines transporting gold in Ghana.
