Pictured on a wet homebase platform. The open day at Kiel saw many showers, but nice photo opportunities. This Westland Sea King made its first flight on 7 June 1973 and was delivered to the Marineflieger the next month. It was initially withdrawn from service in October 2012 but saw active service again. In 2023, it was possibly moved to the fire department at Kiel.
