These walk-around photos were taken at the RAF Museum London in Hendon in 2019. They show a Westland Wessex HCC.4, serial XV732, in the distinctive red and dark blue colour scheme of The Queen's Flight — one of only two such aircraft ever built, and the one with perhaps the most distinguished passenger list in RAF history. A turbine-powered development of the American Sikorsky S-58, the Wessex HCC.4 was a specially modified version of the HC.2 military transport, fitted with a plush VIP interior, sound-proofing and an external folding step below the cabin door, together with additional Decca navigation equipment for precision positioning. XV732 made its first flight on 17 March 1969 and entered service with The Queen's Flight at RAF Benson on 30 June that year. Its first official royal duty was two days later, ferrying the Duke and Duchess of Kent — an occasion marked by an unfortunate incident when an exterior window fell into the Duke's lap in flight. Over the following three decades it carried virtually every senior member of the Royal Family including the Queen, the Queen Mother, the Prince of Wales, Princess Anne, Princess Diana and the Duke of Edinburgh, as well as Prime Minister Harold Wilson and other dignitaries. In 1977 it carried the Queen for the first time during her Silver Jubilee year. Transferred to No. 32 (The Royal) Squadron at RAF Northolt in 1995, XV732 made its final flight on 31 March 1998 having accumulated 10,949 flying hours. It was delivered to Hendon for display in March 2002.
