Wessex HC.2 XV724/BS


Recommended Posts

Here are the remaining pics of my Wessex HC2. It depicts XV724/BS of 18 Squadron in 1970 and the one I had a ride at low level over the German countryside in while on an ATC camp at Bruggen.

The Wesex had come over from Gutersloh by the way.

You've done a really great job on your Wessex. It’s beautiful.

I love your camo ! My next Wessex will be painted in a camo pattern.

What did you use for the wire ? I used fishing wire.

Too bad you don't live nearby or we could have pictured ours together ;)

I followed your build thread and am impressed by the result. Great work on a subject that until I read your build thread I knew little about.

Brings back fond memories, Paul. Flew low level in a Wessex on CCF (RAF) camp at Gütersloh in 1973. Very nicely built.

Thanks All.

Hi, Python,

The wires were from the elasticated thread that Aeroclub do. A bit fiddly trying to get one end stuck firmly before stretching to fix the other end though but win in the end. the excess was then trimmed with a very new blade!

All I need do now is decide what to do with the Choctaw remains and the HU5 fuselage! Maybe a sort of hybrid H-34 or rework the windows to the smaller one! Or a What if...?
