Speaking about wear and tear... this Sea King clearly shows it has a tough time over war-torn Afghanistan. It just landed from a mission and returned to its parking spot at Kandahar. ZG821was sold (as one of seven) to Pakistan and officially handed over on 25 May 2017. Some were intended to use as spare part, but ZG821 was planned for active duty with Pakistan. The tie-up to its new Paki serial (19?) is not clear. This photo is copyright © Stephan de Bruijn, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
