Dad used to fly these - 771 squadron are absolute badasses in my eyes. Big respect

[@georgemorley1029]

771 are gone but not forgotten.

[@holgeraschendorf8206]

Great video! I love to watch the Sea King, because i grew Up on an island. The German Navy pilots did all the flights 24/7 . If anyone needed help, you could be shure to hear the noise half an hour later. Thanks to all peoples giving their best for our safety!

Man I miss this beautiful helicopter

Good old sea king. Much better than the modern ones.

This exact helicopter sits just inside the fence at culdrose now! I see it every time I drive through Helston

Love the dislikes! People are weird! I was a member of the RN rescue unit in Scotland and we had a mother moaning about her kids inflatable being stabbed during the kids rescue. Wanted her money back so the squadron sent her a bill for 20k to cover the rescue 🤔😂😂

[@petemaynard4425]

Did the mum pay up 😄🤔 fair play to you all though,much respect to you all 👊❤.i remember years ago in my home town of weston s mare a raf rescue helicopter showing up for the helidays on the beach lawns.later in the day it was called out and due to rain people were warned to put their umbrellas down due to the downdraft of the rotors.most people listened apart from one man who left his up 😄🙈 suffice to say he was very lucky he didnt take off quicker than these choppers!!! I miss these old girls 😖💖

[@michaeldunn9228]

@@petemaynard4425 No. She did suck back rather quickly though and apologised. Services like this are taken for granted and people generally have no concept of the cost or what goes on behind the scenes to get that helicopter to them. We ran 3 cabs from Prestwick Airport, HMS Gannet, and you can imagine the maintenance required to have them ready for instant launch. We regularly won Rolls Royce engineering awards for it and 600 rescues per year were common. We sent a cab out in 100 mph winds on Christmas Day one year to rescue people that had gone for a walk in the mountains. The weather was the worst we had ever seen and the rotor blades were not far from the ground on engagement, so bad was the wind. This was typical! We attended Piper Alpha and Lockerbie. That was grim! The pilots were something else, operating in the conditions they did and we suffered the odd crash. I rebuilt one cab after the blades struck the side of a cliff, so close do they get to affect the rescue. Good days 👍🏻

[@petemaynard4425]

@@michaeldunn9228 fair play to you all for the amazing service you provide.i truly think if its a persons fault for being rescued they should be fined to pay towards the rescue effort as i know its not cheap sending up helicopters.or better still take them out on gruesome jobs to make them realise.but i guess you will always have muppet members of the public.blimey must of been harrowing dealing with piper alpha and lockerbie 😔❤

Now that's one kick arse helicopter.

[@jonathonpask3479]

this helicopter on the regular used to do flybys and circle around our village due to many of the pilots living there and they still do to this day but in the merlin's and the new search and rescue Heli, the Sea Kings where the best though so many memories, now it sits on the edge of Coldrose for everyone to see. (771 squadron)

[@das1stmiester]

Sea Kings were in service a lot of years and look fantastic. We watched one doing a rescue exercise with the R.N.L.I. They all look great in action .

This is many years ago, nevertheless a Royal Navy military helicopter dropping on a beach is ultra rare back then.

Beautyful and mighty Sea King and the Royal Navy. Why did they stop the operations? Money?

[@airspotting7074]

I think it was partly due to outdated avionics and computer systems

[@MitchT196]

Some of these ex Royal Navy SAR Sea Kings are being used by a contractor to train German navy crews at Portland Bill.

[@FK-zr9fn]

BRILLIANT. Could somebody explain to me why the sand did not blow everywhere please .Thanks

[@JanieJane6149]

Maybe it got blown away when they landed 🤔

[@michaeldunn9228]

It would have been bad as the cab came in to land. Once the pitch is taken off the rotor head the blades have no angle applied and stop producing lift. It is a spinning disc with no turbulence underneath it. Would have been a different matter on take off and it always amazed me when people stood around it 😂

[@FK-zr9fn]

@@michaeldunn9228 Thank you Michael your knowledge in this situation is very much appreciated.

[@fasteddie406]

Sand did blow evereywhere... look at the lower halves of the people close by, u can see the dust.

[@thebillybonney]

Because this never happened. It's a scene from a video game.

[@f1tv436]

Nice

[@simonyip5978]

Are the yellow Sea King helicopters from the RAF and the grey with red high visibility from the Royal Navy? I live close to a RAF base and I have seen many yellow Sea Kings but never this paint scheme.

[@jamesrae5351]

I think the clue in this particular clip is the Royal Navy painted on the side of the helo.

[@das1stmiester]

I don't know how the spectators aren't getting sandblasted by the down draught 😳😁 The sand must be that sticky kind people use for sand modelling 🤔
