Not something you see in your local supermarket's carpark every day. The aircraft had an engine failure the day before and landed about a mile away. It was then going to be towed overnight to Prestwick Airport (home base) but there wasn't enough time before the traffic got busy. So it is parked up waiting for the wee small hours before resuming its tow back to base, about 4 miles as the crow flies but double that going by road.

I read in the newspaper the following day that a climber had been killed in Glencoe. Presumably this sortie was in connection with that incident.

Two Sea Kings that had been retired from service in April 2016 have been returned to the air by Heli Operations. They will be used between July and September 2018 and based at Portland. They have retained their military serials but otherwise carry no Royal Navy markings - all very unusual!

Two Sea Kings that had been retired from service in April 2016 have been returned to the air by Heli Operations. They will be used between July and September 2018 and based at Portland. They have retained their military serials but otherwise carry no Royal Navy markings - all very unusual!

A rare sight on the continent are the Royal Navy Sea Kings. This one was present during the 1989 SAR Meet.

Lifting off to take another injured climber/hiker to hospital in Fort William. The Scottish mountains claim many victims every year, mainly due to people underestimating the danger as they aren't very high. The winchman certainly gets a great view!

Pictured above rw31 whilst bashing out some training circuits around PIK. On operations these HMS Gannet helicopters don't come too often within range of our cameras so this was a nice opportunity to get this S-61 up close.
