An historic day at Historic Helicopters!

At least the pilot is now signed off for hovering 🙂
And as a helicopter pilot, I can confirm that is a major miletone! 🙂
Well done to all involved. I heartened to see a historic helicopter being preserved and flown.
Helicopters have been largely been ignored by the historic aviation community for too long.

Hi All,
I was just on http://www.facebook.com/globalaviationresource?ref=hl and came across this news, I did try the Facebook link above but cannot sign as I do not have an account, anyway the video below was in a link provided along with a few still shots. Hearty congratulations to all the team from the bottom to the top….:eagerness:

Is this the only flying Wessex? I saw them flying here in the seventies. They were based in Gütersloh and sometimes they were flying out of Detmold.
