You can’t beat the old Wessex sigh, an honour to have worked on, flown in and had a go at flying..

They all 84 Squadron Aircraft from RAF Akrotiri.
Flew in one when I went there for a visit in 2003.

As stated in the thread, the museum team would love to hear from people with experiences in or with these machines, so please share.

Whatever shed they have been kept in needs some serious bird control.

Me too, did the Helli lanes several times in Wessex and Puma. Indeed did one trip minus the doors on a Puma after the rail issues where they fell off and killed the crew in Norway. Practice landing approaches over the bridge and into Battersea were awesome. 🙂

Ooh nice: worked on/flown in and had a go at flying most of those! Will have to dig out the photo albums. I just wish I’d taken photos of London during the low-level navex we did down the Thames one summer evening.
I also wish I’d had a digital camera back then!
