For more than 25 years the Westland Sea King has been a reassuring sight around the English coast, providing essential Search and Rescue (SAR) capabilities for those in peril both on land and at sea. The Royal Navy variant – the Sea King HU Mk.5, which is the main focus of this book – is estimated to have saved literally hundreds of lives. Author and photographer Lee Howard has been given privileged official access to the Navy’s SAR air and ground crews to offer fascinating insights into operating, flying and maintaining the mighty Sea King.
