PIC: Westland Wasp seriously damaged 17jul2014...

Post by Stratofreighter »

A lorry driver has been left embarrassed after his abnormal cargo, a Wasp helicopter, ended up crashing to the ground when he clipped the corner of a fence on at the HMS-Sultan Royal Navy base in Gosport, Hampshire.

The lorry's carriage hit the fence with such force that the helicopter, and the carriage it was being carried on, were left flipped on their sides, resulting in extensive damage to both.

The lorry cab involved in the accident was left intact and ok, more than can be said for the Wasp and the driver's ego, which have both taken a battering.
