A Westland built S-61 for the Marineflieger (German Naval Aviation). The Sea King made its first flight as a Mk41 on 7 June 1973 and was handed over to the Marineflieger the next month. First delivered to Culdrose for training, later moved to its homebase Kiel (Germany). It was withdrawn from use at Nordholz in 2012.
