This dusty Sea King HC4 of 846sq was deployed to Kandahar, Afghanistan, supporting the Operation Herrick within the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF). The helicopter made its first flight on 27 June 1980 and was delivered to the Royal Navy. The Sea King was sold to the Marineflieger (German Navy) for spares only in 2015, and is believed to be scrapped in Germany.
