Geoffers Italeri 1/72 Wessex HU.5 Royal Navy SAR helicopter

[Geoffers]

A splendid Wessex. Well done Geoff.

Thank you Colin

great build of a 'proper' helicopter, was sad when they stopped flying them at RAF Shawbury,

Cheers Steve
I regularly used to see the Wessex’s and Gazelle’s flying from Shawbury as I live just down the road from there. The modern stuff they fly now is very bland in comparison.

A real 'silk purse from a sow's ear' Geoff! Love it!
Steve

Thanks Steve, glad you like it

Geoff.

Yep, the Juno's and Jupiter's just dont cut it.
Do you remember when the Jet Provosts used to fly from there ?
Then for a while the rumour was that the Americans were going to base some F1-11's there - nothing came of it

 

[Geoffers]

Yes Steve I vaguely remember them, it was quite a while ago.
I hadn’t heard the F-111 rumour, that would have been fantastic if it h as come to anything
