Morayvia's Westland Wessex HU.5 XT466 has been repainted into the scheme it wore prior to being called up for service in the 1982 Falklands War. The helicopter served from August 1,1979 with 771 NAS as CU-528 at RNAS Culdrose in Cornwall, before transferring to 847 NAS on April 27, 1982. It was painted overall dark green for service in the South Atlantic, and was withdrawn from flying duties after returning to the UK with just over 3,089 hours 'on the clock'. It's believed to have last flown in September 1982 with 845 NAS at San Carlos, on the Falkland Islands.
