Operated by 705 Naval Air Squadron. Seen here during the SAR display, it was retired in 1974 and stored at Wroughton before going to Wales Aircraft Museum. It is now (2019) in very poor condition at a paintball park near Cowbridge, Glamorgan. This photo is copyright © Chris England, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
