View attachment 60707Hi All, hope you don't mind me joining in on this one too.

I picked up the UH-34D Choctaw a couple of weeks ago and shortly after ordered the S-58T nose convertion kit (not yet arrived).

This will be my intended victim

This looks interesting Jim. Your Choctaw and my Wessex are surley related somehow.

Hi Colin, I think you are right I am not up to par on the history..did they adapt the engine to tirbine for the Wessex

 

[flyjoe180]

I think you are right Jim, the Choctaw was developed into the Wessex by powering it with a turbine engine.
