With a full & active service life of more than 40 years with the Royal Navy & the RAF, the Westland Wessex was one of the most versatile helicopters of the Cold War era.

As a British-built turbine-powered development of the American Sikorsky H-34, the Westland Wessex was developed & produced under license by Westland Aircraft (later Westland Helicopters).

One of the main differences from Sikorskys H-34 was the replacement of the piston-engine power plant with a turboshaft engine. The Wessex was the first helicopter to be produced in large numbers that made use of a gas turbine engine.

Early models were powered by a single Napier Gazelle engine, while later builds used a pair of Rolls-Royce Gnome engines.
