Delivered by Westland in early 1975 and returned to the UK in 1977 aboard HMAS Melbourne for Queen's Silver Jubilee. Became first Sea King to undergo Life Of Type Expansion Program and served in the Timor and Gulf conflicts, by now in the toned-down grey overall. Took part in 827 Sqdn's final Sea King formation flight prior to retirement in December 2011 This photo is copyright © Richard Vandervord, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
