Weston Helicopter Museum (Early days)

[LondonEye]

Pictures taken in 1989, at Weston International Helicopter Museum, Somerset.
(It opened on present site in 1988).
It’s origin goes back to 1958 when Elfan ap Rees started a small collection.
A visit today would see a greatly expanded collection, many rare/unusual types. Well worth a visit.

An interesting set of shots and thanks for posting them, I'd forgotten about all those WG30's that they acquired.
