Former Boeing test registration N37019, was delivered to the RAF as a HC1 in early 1981 (with construction number MA005). It was modified to HC2 ( with construction number M7004) by late 1993. Converted to HC4 by Vector Aerospace Ltd at Fleetlands in 2014 and saw again a modification to HC6A by Boeing at Boscombe Down during 2018. Check that cockpit section and the top of one of the blades, the workhorese shows very heavy wear and tear due to the tough mission in the difficult Afghan weather and dust environment.
