Known as a 'Green Parrot' when serving with the VIP Flight of 781 NAS. Brought from store to Yeovilton for painting prior to service with 707 NAS. Became 9055M. Following disposal from the MoD this lovely Wessex went to a paintball park at Shawell, Leicestershire and moved to a diving centre at Stoney Cove, Leicestershire in 2008 where it was sunk.
