Wessex Roadrunner,

Post by stevejb »

Driving down the M5 this morning and suddenly saw an RAF SAR Wessex on a low loader heading north. Couldn't catch the serial amongst the traffic. Was it the Cosford one returning from the Cardiff ground display, can anyone confirm?
Thanks
Steve

Would make sense if it was the bright-yellow SAR cab. Travelling up the M5 sounds reasonable to take it back to Cosford - lord knows you wouldn't want to take it up the Hereford A49 way :hide:

Can't confirm that was the one, but it seems likely. The serial for the one in Cardiff this weekend that is a long-term Cosford resident is XR498.

Edit - I gues 'twas indeed it:
