WESTLAND WESSEX

$9.95

Titles: Westland Wessex No’s 1 and 2

The Westland Wessex was a licence production version of the Sikorsky S-58, but the main change was to replace the S-58’s radial piston engine with a turbine engine. Early versions of the Wessex used a Napier Gazelle engine, and later versions used a twin-pack of De Havilland Gnome engines. It first flew in 1958 and entered service in 1961.

The principal operators were the Royal Air Force and Royal Navy, although 27 were supplied to the Royal Australian Navy, and smaller numbers to several other air arms. A number of civil versions were used on the North Sea oil fields until replaced by larger helicopters.

We offer two titles containing flight manuals (known as pilot’s notes), a performance manual and a manufacturer’s brochure for several variants of the Westland Wessex. Each title is US$9.95. The files have been copied from the original flight manuals and retain any colour pages.
