New helicopter fleet at Thruxton?

This was taken a few weeks ago at Thruxton. Anyone know what it is (other than an old domestic oil tank with a Calor gas cylinder and a welded tail boom) or what it's for?! The wire cutter is a nice touch - perhaps an optional extra? Cheers Whirls |
You may laugh...... will appear on Ebay soon.......Engine/ airframe for sale, can be made airworthy, no paperwork etc.........
Good to see pics of Thruxton again, had many a happy time in the bar trying to turn the "horizon" upside down :yuk: |
it is a practice model for fire fighting i reckon
|
its the R66 with beefed up cabin for passenger safety
|
Its a Westland Wasp HAS 3 (note wheels) custom built for the seven dwarfs h-r;)
|
I like the foot steps on the side - to climb up and do your checks.
Rotor head missing, check, Rust resonable, check |
I go with the Wasp HAS III.
Well thought out mod to put the Mk46 on top where it's additional height would give it another 20 - 30 yards carry, thereby almost doubling its range... |
Whirls,
With 3 windows each side, I believe it to be one of those Westland 30s (WG 30). tam |
