It was probably heading towards the Rosslare ferry to either the UK or France. Does anyone know where she was going?

Had no idea there was a Whirlwind flying, is there a display schedule for it this year?

Great to see vintage helicopters flying,would love to see an early piston version of the whirlwind or wessex flying.

It amazes me how they manage to keep this machine airworthy -I was involved with the HCC.12 fifteen years ago and spares were decidedly thin on the ground then!

Wonderful to hear that this is active again – great work!

Yep ……..flew in to Weston Air Festival on both days last weekend and also visited The Helicopter Museum for a re familiarisation flight with one of its former RAF pilots.
