Sorry for the tardy reply, I hadn't realised anybody had replied! Yeah, XZ578 travelled across Europe and is now with us in Slovakia being restored. Her MRH should go on before Christmas. She's right next to XZ598 and ZA296, 598 received her MRH last week and we're now waiting on the weather to put her blades on. We've got a FB group called "Three Birds, One Stone". Loads of pictures of her.

She surprised us all really, she looked CRAP when we got her finally and I was looking for somewhere to give her a full respray until I started getting uotes of 90 - 100 grand! We started researching online how to save her original paint and started on her. Her once VERY matt Grey and Red shined-up beautifully.

The Australian ones are only partly covered,front section only.
The spares ship XV674 is completely covered.
That's the one at the back on the front row. If that makes sense.

What’s the future for these Sea Kings? They’re almost 10 years living in Horsham now? Does the owner still hope to sell them anywhere? Or just rotting away (which would be a waste…)?
