Westland Sea King
Walkaround Gallery

This Sea King walkaround shows an RAN machine, side number 22, on static display at Avalon 2007.

The RAN has had 12 Sea Kings on force. They were initially taken on strength from 1975, so they have given over 30 years of service! I don’t know if a replacement is on the cards at the moment. They are now land-based as they are too big to operate effectively from any current RAN ships. I am guessing the Sea Sprites will be taking over some of their roles, particularly sub hunting. The Sea Kings are used mainly for short-range patrol and utility work.
