This Sea Prince was delivered to the FAA in 1953 and served all over the UK from Culdrose to Lossiemouth to Belfast and as far afield as Malta. In 1977 she was placed in storage and has been part of the Fleet Air Arm's Museum Reserve Collection since 1980. I believe (but stand to be corrected) that the aircraft pieces in the foreground are part of the museum's ongoing Barracuda restoration.

Lifting off to take another injured climber/hiker to hospital in Fort William. The Scottish mountains claim many victims every year, mainly due to people underestimating the danger as they aren't very high. The winchman certainly gets a great view!

This aircraft was built in Akron, OH and allocated the BuNo 14862. After serving with the Royal Navy it arrived at the Fleet Air Arm Museum in 1963 and is now on display in Hall 2. In 2000 work was carried out to remove all exterior layers of paint and so this scheme is the original factory markings.

This aircraft was built in Akron, OH and allocated the BuNo 14862. After serving with the Royal Navy it arrived at the Fleet Air Arm Museum in 1963 and is now on display in Hall 2. In 2000 work was carried out to remove all exterior layers of paint and so this scheme is the original factory markings.
