About the Westland Sea King HC.4:

The Westland Sea King HC.4 was the British-built version of the American Sikorsky S-61 helicopter, extensively modified for Royal Air Force and Royal Navy service. The HC.4 variant was specifically designed for commando assault operations, featuring a reinforced cabin floor, troop seating for up to 28 troops, and the ability to carry underslung loads. Powered by twin Rolls-Royce Gnome turboshaft engines, the Sea King HC.4 became famous for its reliability and versatility, serving in conflicts from the Falklands War to operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. The distinctive sponsons on either side of the fuselage housed additional fuel tanks, giving the helicopter extended range for long-distance missions. The Sea King's reputation for dependability and its ability to operate in harsh conditions made it a beloved aircraft among crews and a vital asset for British military operations for over four decades.
