846 Naval Air Squadron of the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm operated the Westland Sea King HC.4, a dedicated commando support helicopter. Known as the "Junglies," the squadron specialized in amphibious and land-based operations, providing troop transport, resupply, and casualty evacuation. The Sea King HC.4, with its iconic green livery, robust design, and exceptional range, was essential in operations such as the Falklands War, Iraq, and Afghanistan. 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 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
