        " The triumph of brute force over aerodynamics " - think it was said about the Bumble Bee, but applies to helicopters as well!

          Didn’t a student once prove that according to current aerodynamics laws a bumble bee couldn’t fly?

                We had about 500 fly past yesterday. They rest up in the adjoining fields to our garden. Seeing a huge flow of geese flying right at you is a bit scary lol.

                  This was the second batch yesterday, another came across a few hours earlier but headed more to the right. Hopefully they stuck to the land instead of going out towards the sea and eventually the English Channel.

                      Eee By Gum - many a happy hour or spent in the wee beastie. Definitely happy memories. Basic is an understatement when used in regard to the Wasp. Think I have 12/1300 Hours logged in it.
                      Wonder which one it was? Either Terry Martins, (XT787) or John Heath's Wasp. They are both serviced at Chard I believe. XT787 being part of the Royal Navy Heritage Flight. ( Link )

                              Nothing Lee. His last post was a dedication to a member of the team who had passed away.
