Meteor
Following the success of the Vampire restoration, we decided to tackle our very sad and neglected Meteor. It had been left to rot in a field and was carefully road moved by GJD Services to our restoration hangar at St Athan. We began working on it in April 2024 and it is almost ready to go on show in the main museum. As a picture tells a thousand words we have documented our progress along the way!
Under Restoration
 Westland Wessex HAS 3 has been kindly donated from the North East Aircraft Museum near Sunderland |  |

 XM833 (c/n WA.014) was one out of a first production batch of forty Wessex HAS.1 helicopters built for the Royal Navy by Westland Aircraft Ltd at Yeovil against Contract 6/Aircraft/15487. It initially joined 700(H) Sqn (Intensive Flying Training Unit) at Culdrose before being converted to a HAS.3 variant by October 1967. XM833 went on to serve with 819, 814, 820 and 737Sqn's before being placed in storage at Wroughton. It was acquired by the Second World War Aircraft Preservation Society. |  If you are interested in joining our team of volunteers who restore the aircraft and keep the place running then please get in touch. |
