The Wessex HC.2 was a British-made, turbine-powered helicopter based on the American Sikorsky S-58 design. First entering RAF service in 1962, it was used for troop transport, supply runs, ground support, and air evacuations, showing impressive versatility across missions.
What truly made the Wessex stand out was its role in air-sea rescue operations. Known for handling harsh conditions and landing in tight areas, it became one of the most trusted helicopters of its era, earning a solid reputation in both military and rescue work.
