Sea King HAS5 o/h Portsmouth am 4.10.17

Although I can guess the answer, I'd appreciate confirmation of the serial for the newly painted or/gy SK that passed overhead Portsmouth dockyard at 1020, 1230 4.10, if anyone has it, please.
Also, does anyone know if it's test flying or crew training out of Lee because Portland Council allegedly put obstacles in the way for using the Dorset base?

Thanks Matt. That's what I expected. I haven't seen any reports of the second one flying again after o/h.
