The mid week annual Open Door at this Belgium Base took place on Wednesday 3 July. Nice to see two flying Sea Kings especially the German Navy retro. The Germans will retire all their sea Kings in August.

Great to see the Sea Kings at Koksijde again. Especially RS02 from Historic Helicopters & particularly the German Navy retro-scheme.
After Aalborg. DK was postponed I had imagined neither of the GN 'Specials' would be seen by the general public. Thanks for sharing these shots from this small event.

Thanks for sharing these with us, some great shots. Nice to see the Sea Kings and shame that the Germans won't be coming our way before retirement.

Very envious of the German, lovely shots.

A great set of photos.

Thanks for sharing.
