Wessex helicopters lead fly-past rehearsal
Three Wessex helicopters from No 28 (Army Co-operation) Squadron, Royal Air Force Sek Kong, will lead Government Flying Service aircraft through Victoria Harbour tomorrow (Thursday) on a rehearsal of the fly-past which will take place during the Liberation Parade next Monday (August 28).
The aircraft, which includes one S-70A Blackhawk helicopter, two S-76 helicopters and one T67M Slingsby fixed-wing aircraft, are due to pass through the harbour from west to east between 10.30 am and 11 am and will be flying at a height of 500 feet.
Attention News Editors:
The fly-past will be visible from both sides of the harbour and will take place between 10.30 am and 11 am.
You should note that during the Liberation Parade next Monday, the fly-past over Victoria Harbour will not be visible from the press positions at the Cenotaph. Tomorrow's rehearsal may, therefore, provide a good opportunity for photographers and television crews to film the aircraft prior to the main event.
