Caribou kindly sent me this late evening photo of the three Westland Wessex helicopters after their delivery to Classic Flyers Museum at Tauranga Airport on Wednesday 19-09-2018.

Don't believe everything that you read !
I believe that five HC2 models arrived in 2004 for Helilogging.
S/n XR511 with c/n WA136
XR588 with c/n WA121 (Heart)
XS675 with c/n WA194 (Spade)
XT680 with c/n WA548 (Diamond)
XV730 with c/nWA625 (Club)
Can anyone confirm this list please ?
We have had at least seven additional airframes - three of which made it onto our civil aircraft register.
XR588 should read XT606 which became ZK-HBF. I agree you should not believe everything you read. I was the one who was interviewed by the paper and I quite clearly told them Royal Air Force not RNZAF or Navy. Peter Layne
