Not generally seen much on the East coast as RAF (yellow) Sea Kings operated out of RAF Valley
the RN Grey & Red Sea Kings were seen in Cork (and Shannon?) as they operated out of RNAS Culdrose
That was 771 Sqn. We had 22 Sqn out of Chivenor also, with their Yellow Wessex, as well as 202 Sqn Sea Kings from Brawdy.
Don't forget we also had Nimrod from St Mawgan and Kinloss.
