Turbinepowered,and carrying both detection equipmentand <strong>of</strong>fensive armament, it can searchand strike swiftly and surely operating by dayor night in any weather conditions from eithership or shore bases.The smaller "Wasp"—also turbine-powered—is ideal for anti-submarine operations fromescort vessels too small to accommodate the"Wessex". As demonstrated in recent evaluationtrials, it can operate successfully, even inmoderate seas, from a platform only 26ft. x 21 ft.In commando carrier operations from H.M.S.'Bulwark", "Whirlwinds" are giving vitalmobility, enabling shock troops and suppliesto be put ashore rapidly in remote places, andsubsequently providing a fast, direct transportlink between the troops and their parentcarrier. Soon a larger "Wessex" will bringeven greater striking power, carrying 16 fullyequippedtroops (as against 10 in the "Whirlwind")or twice the amount <strong>of</strong> freight.W WESTLAND the great name in HELICOPTERSWESTLAND AIRCRAFT LIMITED YEOVIL ENGLANDIncorporating Saunders-Roe Division, Bristol Helicopter Division and Fairey Aviation DivisionAUSTRALIAN AGENTS:-DE HAVILLAND AIRCRAFT PTY LTD ' P.O.
