One from an old 2000 slide scan - an HC-85 'Golden Gators' bird on a photo-ex we did around San Clemente Island off the coast of SoCal.

A great thread. I absolutely love the Sea King, and being the first aircraft i worked on out of training, i always will! Here's a few from me taken in Basrah in 2007 of the Commando's from 845sqn whom we were working beside with our Merlins. I realise they're not up to the usual UKAR standard but i hope you can appreciate them.

And a couple taken of the last Sea King to leave the Helicopter Maintenance Flight at St.Mawgan before it's closure.

One from me - Sidney International Airport, British Columbia on 21 August 2009 - I think it had just arrived from the paintshop as there was an escorting AS350 with a cameraman
