Prince Philip flew the helicopter himself after doing his core business - opening a school. The Rocket sports ground in Darlington was just east of the railway line on Thompson Street East, belonging to the Robert Stephenson and Hawthorns locomotive factory. WV218 built as HO4S-3 BuNo 133746 in 1953, but transferred to Royal Navy under MDAP. Struck off charge in 1960 and broken up at Hal Far, Malta.

Written off on 9 October 1968 in a forced landing in a field near Weymouth. Although it was repaired at Fleetlands it never flew again, and it was eventually preserved by the Royal Australian Navy Museum in Nowra, NSW, where it has been since April 1994. The Varsity behind is WJ943/S, and must have been a challenge to land on Plymouth's short grass runway! It was struck off charge in 1976, and was burnt on the RAF Valley fire dump.
