Wessex HAS.3

30th ANNIVERSARY FALKLANDS WAR 1982_2012 COLLECTION

The Wessex HAS.3 had been an improved form of the previous HAS.1 helicopter. Between 1965 and 1968, forty-three HAS.1 models were upgraded to your new standard, easily recognisable for the dorsal dome of search radar that provided the HAS.3 its nickname “Camel”.Apart out of this aspect, the improvements focussed mainly in the flight stabilisation system together with mission gear, including the more effective Plessey sonar. The weaponry for anti-submarine missions typically contains Mk.44 or Mk.46 torpedoes, or Mk.11 depth charges.TH Starting in the mid-1970s, the Wessex HAS.3 ended up being slowly replaced by the Sea King, though it stayed in service long sufficient to be involved in the Falklands War
