Photo Comment
This Sea King belongs to the last batch of helicopters, that were delivered as SH-3D/H because they had a strenghtened tail boom and were equipped with the Elettronica ESM/ECM Elt 2651 sensors suite. They had also a slightly larger horizontal stabilizer and slightly longer blades on the tail rotor. Another distinguishing feature is the air intake filtering guard on top of the cockpit.
