Found on the road this Helicopter Westland-Sikorsky WS-55 Whirlwind Mk II (ZD.1B-19 / 803-1) from Spanish Army from Cuatro Vientos Museum to an exhibition in Valencia in very good shape. 26-6-2018

Oh my: to think that climbing up the side of one of those was a great achievement for a young Midshipman, allowed out solo to play 8)

Although ISTR that the blades should be folded with the leading edge down to support the weight, not trailing edge as shown. Nerd stuff :wink:

Good condition that one.

I’ve got a bunch of S55 and S55-T time. Nice helicopters climbing in and out is a hassle
