Yeh ,amazing footage!!!
Nothing as yet its still being kept under water to preserve it until such time as it can be treated.
Let me know if you needs any advice on how to dismantle it (not to difficult).
Yep,Swordfish.
Are they still for sale? If so do you know how much?
Are the Sea Otter wheels surplus? Could they be made available?
Nice photo of Widgeon G-APWK ,do you have any more photos of this helicopter?
My Son is restoring the Cockpit from G-APWK and would be interested in seeing any photos of this Helicopter!
