Historic Helicopters - 11th October 2024

[johnwickenden]

Was fortunate enough to be welcomed to the Chard Equestrian Centre last Friday and given permission by Andrew and Dave to have a good look around. Obviously, the choppers inside the hangars are a bit hemmed in - they are there to be worked on - not for public view.

Unfortunately, the Whirlwind and Wessex were just too tightly packed to get shots of.

Interesting shots, thanks for sharing these with us. I also note that the Widgeon is tucked in there too. Not many of them about.
