The Westland Sea King formerly the Sikorsky SH-3D, the first Westland produced aircraft flew in May 1969 destined for the Royal Navy. Over 300 have been built in various marks and continued in service well into the 21 century.

I "flew" a Sea King on many missions....in my parents' back yard. It was a die cast DINKY model in light grey West German markings with battery op rotor and working winch.

This film is after 1970 when the Ark was refitted with the 8.5deg angled flight and bridle catchers, this enabled her to operate Phantoms and Buccaneers.

Great footage of such a great chopper. 6.39 min what a great bit of control on a tight deck.

@@davidbirt8486 I didn't spot a Tiger class cruiser but there is a destroyer at 3:03 which I believe is either HMS Cavalier or Caprice which had been fairly recently upgraded to carry Sea Cat missiles at the time.
