In 1994, 772 Naval Air Squadron operated the Sea King HC.4 variant, primarily configured for troop transport and utility support, though they also supported search and rescue (SAR) roles. The HC.4 model, with its distinctive “Commando” configuration and extended range, was highly versatile, allowing the squadron to conduct a range of operations. In addition to SAR, the squadron provided logistical support, moved personnel, and conducted training exercises. The Sea King HC.4s were instrumental in operational training for commando units and support missions for the Royal Navy, emphasizing the versatility and reliability of the Sea King platform across a variety of challenging missions and terrains. Designed to meet a US Navy requirement for an all-weather amphibious helicopter, the Sikorsky SH-3 Sea King first flew on March 11, 1959. Originally a submarine hunter-killer, the Sea King has since been used in a variety of operations, from search and rescue, executive transport and communications to anti-ship and airborne early warning. Its five main rotor blades and tail section fold for stowage aboard aircraft carriers, and its hull can remain temporarily watertight for water landings-a risky maneuver attempted only in emergencies. When deployed by aircraft carriers, Sea Kings serve as plane guard and are the first in the air and the last to return. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
