50 years of the Gazelle
Some lovely looking machines there - made me quite nostalgic, didn't quite manage 1000 hrs on type though.

crab,
Got a lump in my throat too. Like you I managed just under 1,000 hours, then onto Scout, aka flying bomb.
Great photos and memories of Middle Wallop.

Spotter's corner....
Great pix!
Sorry for being a pedant, but curious to learn why the differences...? Some Gazelles with small vs. large end plates on the horizontal stabiliser, some with upturned engine exhaust vs. rear facing exhaust, some with enclosed tail rotor drive shaft vs. open tail rotor drive shaft........
Lovely looking aircraft. Don't make 'em like that any more.....
