Broithe Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 I often wonder if anybody ever found a old box of spares at the back of the stores in the 1960s, with "Westland Whirlwind" written on them, and then wondered why they wouldn't fit the big yellow helicopter he was working on..? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broithe Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 I'm old enough to have seen Ansons still in RAF service. They had a bit of a delicate, 'home-made' look about them. Something along the lines of a prop for a school play. By the mid/late 1960s, things as 'pre-war' as them were largely well in the past... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Anson was one of those aircraft which just proved incredibly effective at what it did, like a select few other types. The Canberra outlasted its contemporaries, and the B52 will probably hit 100 years of service. Amazing to think that when the first B52 flew, cattle trains were still running on the Tralee and Dingle. The Douglas DC-3, which dates from 1943, is still highly valued by certain specialist users.

Broithe Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Yes, the Ansons strolled on and didn't seem to crash much, but they just looked frail - even if you could fly one into another and the top pilot could 'land' both, after the chaps in the bottom one had got out... 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
