The Wessex returns...

Post by POD »

Such a fabulous sight to see Historic Helicopters Wessex HU5 XT761 (G-WSEX) get take to the skies again yesterday for the first time for 32 years....

An amazing achievement by Andrew Whitehouse and his team.....Looking forward to seeing this classic British Helicopter back on the UK air show scene...... :yahoo: :yahoo:

Great photos and wonderful to see this and it must surely be a nailed on for Yeovilton Air Day.

I love how she's not in quite pristine condition too as it makes her look like she's in service still. Great work and well done to all involved.
