Owing to the airfield’s long history, I wonder how many different air

The Westland Wessex, a British spin on the American Sikorsky Choctaw, took flight in 1958 and was built until 1970. Debuting with the Royal Navy in 1961, the upgraded HAS 3 variant arrived in 1967. Meanwhile, the Royal Air Force adopted the Wessex for Search and Rescue in 1962. Despite its lower payload than the Bristol Belvedere, the Wessex's ease of maintenance led to its later use in troop transport, even replacing the Belvedere. Over 50 Wessex helicopters saw action in the Falklands War, shu
