The Westland Sea King

Sea King is the most successful helicopter to date. Made to operate in all conditions, its first duty was to the Royal Navy in the anti-submarine role. It is famous for its life saving duties with the RAF. Over 300 were built of which many were exported.

There will never be a helicopter as based as the Westland Sea King

The Sea King has always been one of my all time favourite helicopters, and i was fascinated by the "Rescue" TV documentary in 1990, which followed the work of D Flight, 202 Sqn, RAF Lossiemouth, where some of these clips are from. They've been an icon for so long and I was sad when they were retired in 2018.

@Rodney Callan Umm, congrats?

El mas fascinante y el mejor helicóptero de la historia. No se construirá otro helicóptero tan completo como el Sea King, el cual es el mejor para tiempos de paz, como para tiempos de guerra. Dichosos los paises que los posean dentro sus Fuerzas Navales.

It is an amazing helicopter. I thought this was going to be a documentary. Instead it was just a marketing/sales pitch.

8:21 Indian Navy's Sea King.🇮🇳 Although it will be soon replaced by Sikorsky MH-60R. I will miss it. Its a one badass looking chopper.

😍 I was lucky to see one landing on the beach at Barmouth.. I been obsessed with helicopters since I was little.. I live by Cosford airbase and when the chinooks go over I'm in that garden like a kid... But I'm the same with the air ambulance and police helicopters.. Maybe one day I might get around to taking a flight in one

[@marciamcgrail5889]

Gosh, Debbie - I thought I was the only one! Do you get your binoculars out and name, make and model them?

[@debbieburton938]

@@marciamcgrail5889 no I don't go that far... I don't live by the coast I live in the Midlands by Cosford airbase.. so I have only seen a sea king on rare occasions.. But I see the chunuck going over a lot.. I've already got the 6yr old running out to look to...

Awesome helicopter 👍🇳🇿

[@t-rex4211]

I pulled in to see my mum at hospital once. There was a bus in front of me in my small van. A sea king helicopter was coming in to land. The chopper ground guy stopped the bus as he said the down draft would’ve flipped the bus 😳

[@berniecoles2337]

Fit for purpose and I put my trust in one to transport my family to the Isles of Scilly. Westland make good choppers.😉

[@bobbyo4955]

This sounds like an infomercial for the Sea king lol

[@Luredreier]

Maybe, but it's true. Only reason why Norway replaced them is wear and tear and lack of replacement parts... There's no available helicopter that's genuinely better for our use... :-/

[@kingofaesthetics9407]

That's because it pretty much is lmao. An infomercial for politicians and military officials.

Ill take two please

[@timwoodman1154]

I spannered these on HMS Ark Royal with 824 Squadron, oh the stories.... During sonar sub hunting ops the a/c was put into autohover flight mode, it was very boring for the pilots as they had nothing to do but sit there. One of the sonar operators went forward and found both pilots sleeping, so he climbed out of the side door, along the aircraft fuselage to the cockpit window and banged on it with his fist. all while in autohover flight.The pilot nearly sharted himself to hear this, very startled indeed but by that time the aircrewman was back inside the rear fuselage, denying all knowledge of this. Oh how we laughed...

[@mizzyroro]

Okay. You've sold me. How much?
