Eden Camp, ( www.edencamp.co.uk/index.html ) near Malton in Yorkshire has a WE177 on display. Strange to see one so close up, only time I ever saw them they were on a trolley with some sort of black shroud over them.

Excuse the cheesy 'hey look what I've just found pose' and :-o blatant breach of the No Lone Zone :-o !!

Hi

Worked on nuclear both the 950 and 2000 at RAF Waddington back in the late 60's when we still had QRA those where the days I was also an armourer. When you look back you just did the job.

Ha Ha yeah, did two tours on SD814. Thoroughly drummed into us about enforcing the NLZ and the 2 man principle.

Hence the cheesy OMG, look what it is pose!!
