Hovering in challenging weather during the air show at Kiel. This Westland built Sea King made its first flight on 5 July 1973 and was delivered to the Marineflieger in August of that year. The helicopter was withdrawn from use at Nordholz in October 2012. This photo is copyright © Stephan de Bruijn, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
