-Is this the only flying Wessex? I saw them flying here in the seventies. They were based in Gütersloh and sometimes they were flying out of Detmold.

-Hi All,
I was just on http://www.facebook.com/globalaviationresource?ref=hl and came across this news, I did try the Facebook link above but cannot sign as I do not have an account, anyway the video below was in a link provided along with a few still shots. Hearty congratulations to all the team from the bottom to the top....:eagerness:
(The first time since 6th November 1986 XT761 (G-WSEX) takes to the air, The only flying Westland Wessex MK 5 in the world.)

And as a helicopter pilot, I can confirm that is a major miletone! :)
Well done to all involved. I heartened to see a historic helicopter being preserved and flown.
Helicopters have been largely been ignored by the historic aviation community for too long.
