RAF Sea King

Post by Aly Bally » Tue Sep 29, 2015 12:15 pm

I live near the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh and I'm quite used to hearing and seeing Sea Kings going into the hospital. Today around 12.55 I heard a Sea King clattering in. He left again around 13.05 and I saw him this time and was surprised to see he was an RAF helicopter heading north westwards. We normally have the RN these days but I was pleased to see a big yellow fellow.
