    Great video!
    I love to watch the Sea King, because i grew Up on an island. The German Navy pilots did all the flights 24/7 . If anyone needed help, you could be shure to hear the noise half an hour later.
    Thanks to all peoples giving their best for our safety!

    Love the dislikes! People are weird! I was a member of the RN rescue unit in Scotland and we had a mother moaning about her kids inflatable being stabbed during the kids rescue. Wanted her money back so the squadron sent her a bill for 20k to cover the rescue 🤔😂😂

      Did the mum pay up 😄🤔 fair play to you all though,much respect to you all 👊❤.i remember years ago in my home town of weston s mare a raf rescue helicopter showing up for the helidays on the beach lawns.later in the day it was called out and due to rain people were warned to put their umbrellas down due to the downdraft of the rotors.most people listened apart from one man who left his up 😄🙈 suffice to say he was very lucky he didnt take off quicker than these choppers!!! I miss these old girls 😖💖

      @@petemaynard4425 No. She did suck back rather quickly though and apologised. Services like this are taken for granted and people generally have no concept of the cost or what goes on behind the scenes to get that helicopter to them. We ran 3 cabs from Prestwick Airport, HMS Gannet, and you can imagine the maintenance required to have them ready for instant launch. We regularly won Rolls Royce engineering awards for it and 600 rescues per year were common. We sent a cab out in 100 mph winds on Christmas Day one year to rescue people that had gone for a walk in the mountains. The weather was the worst we had ever seen and the rotor blades were not far from the ground on engagement, so bad was the wind. This was typical! We attended Piper Alpha and Lockerbie. That was grim! The pilots were something else, operating in the conditions they did and we suffered the odd crash. I rebuilt one cab after the blades struck the side of a cliff, so close do they get to affect the rescue. Good days 👍🏻

      @@michaeldunn9228 fair play to you all for the amazing service you provide.i truly think if its a persons fault for being rescued they should be fined to pay towards the rescue effort as i know its not cheap sending up helicopters.or better still take them out on gruesome jobs to make them realise.but i guess you will always have muppet members of the public.blimey must of been harrowing dealing with piper alpha and lockerbie 😔❤

    this helicopter on the regular used to do flybys and circle around our village due to many of the pilots living there and they still do to this day but in the merlin's and the new search and rescue Heli, the Sea Kings where the best though so many memories, now it sits on the edge of Coldrose for everyone to see.

      It would have been bad as the cab came in to land. Once the pitch is taken off the rotor head the blades have no angle applied and stop producing lift. It is a spinning disc with no turbulence underneath it. Would have been a different matter on take off and it always amazed me when people stood around it 😂
