My regret is that I have never been able to catch 'Humphrey' on display (Wessex HAS.3 embarked aboard HMS Antrim during the Falklands War 1982). Riddled with bullet holes, each one marked clearly with a red circle, a wonder that cab survived. Delivered the initial crippling damage to the Argentine Submarine ARA Sante Fe. They have so many Aircraft that they are rotated in and out of storage/display, and I have always missed out.
As for Concorde 002, I think we should be grateful to those individuals who managed to get it to Yeovilton, as FG86 said, far- sighted. I personally care little about it having no relevance to Naval Aviation, it is a wonderful piece of kit, of great interest.

I thought it was a Wasp that did the sub, not a Wessex ???
