Summary
[edit]DescriptionWestland WS-51 Dragonfly HR.5 ‘Royal Navy - WH991’ (50726542493).jpg |
English: c/n WA/H/67.
Built in 1953 as a Dragonfly HR.3 and served with the HMS Illustrious Ships Flight, 705 Naval Air Squadron and the HMS Centaur Ships Flight before being converted to HR.5 standard in 1958. In 1959 she was used for thermal trials in the Caribbean aboard the survey ship HMS Vidal. HMS Vidal was noteworthy in being the last surface vessel built at Chatham Dockyard, but I digress. Returned to the UK in 1960, WH991 then flew with 700H Naval Air Squadron at RNAS Yeovilton and was again used for trials work when she operated from INS Vikran, previously HMS Hercules, on behalf of the Indian Navy. After this, she returned to 705NAS at Culdrose until put in store during 1964 and moving to the Royal Naval Air Yard at Fleetlands in 1967. Sold off in June 1970, she moved first to Taunton, then to the Lincolnshire Aviation Museum at Tattershall Thorpe in 1974 and finally to a scrapyard near York in 1988. Saved by the late Ray McElwain, she arrived at Elvington in 1994 and was beautifully restored by members of the newly formed Yorkshire Helicopter Preservation Group (YHPG), before being donated to the museum. A change of museum policy meant that YHPG had to leave in 2002 and they found a new home at the South Yorkshire Air Museum in Doncaster. While their two Whirlwinds moved with them, the already donated Dragonfly has remained on display here. Yorkshire Air Museum, Elvington, North Yorkshire, UK. 1st September 2020 |
