    Davey, not sure if it is a Wessex, could it be a Whirlwind?

    Ouch! Daughter was a mudlogger and said the flights were the scariest thing about the job. But for a helicopter to go down..you were lucky to survive!

    Gee, Steve, you were right on #7 being a Sea King! Komo, when I said "ring up Prince William" I had no idea that either of those yellow 'copters were Sea Kings that he is now piloting. I only knew he was flying a yellow 'copter. Noww I see and read that his yellow one is a Sea King and as Steve suspected #7 is a SK. I can't tell one 'copter from another unless one is the big Chinook or one of those way too small glass bubbles like a Bell 47 that do sightseeing trips.

    Even Harrison Ford flies a rescue helicopter of his own. Don't know what it is.

    The important thing to remember about helicopters is that they don't want to fly in the first place !
