Seen here arriving for static display at the 2009 Yeovilton IAD. Note the revised nose profile, a legacy from the testing of the Blue Kestrel radome. In storage at Boscombe Down from March 2010, and offered by Qinetiq for sale by auction on 23 February 2016. Moved to White Waltham in June 2021, where it was cut up for use as a film prop.

This Sea King first flew in November 1982 and delivered to the RAE a month later. The frame was used as the BAe Blue Kestral 5000 Maritime Surveillance Radar test bed and latterly operated by the Rotary Wing Test Squadron (RWTS) - QinetiQ at Boscombe Down (EGDM). After retirement it was stored in the car park at ASL in Horsham, then ASL Charlwood before arriving at EGLM in June 2021. The front section was chopped off, alas, for use as a film prop.
