Hello Abbo46,

At the moment we have the following visiting Helicopters:

Mike Cuttell in his fabulous ex-Swiss AF Alouette II

Does the Wessex have any airshow appearances planned besides Yeovilton?

Does the Wessex have any airshow appearances planned besides Yeovilton?

Speaking to them on Saturday they want to go to RIAT but are unsure if they will. They are gearing up for a much fuller program next year once flight testing is complete. Yeovilton will be a fly past with the ensign flying underneath to open the show then on static display

I was under the impression that it would be a full display at Yeovilton?

Pilot told us just a flypast with flag so no display. Like I said, expanded calendar and displays next year
