The programme was about the Sea King, the introduction and development of the type. In that context, I thought the balance of the programme was absolutely correct - 59 minutes RN and i minute RAF. One omission, however, was the part played by other nations in the development of the SAR version of the aircraft. No mention of the Norwegians, Germans or Belgians, all of whom contributed hugely to the RN SAR platform which was eventually cherry picked by the Crabs.

I`m sure Geoffers will have enjoyed seeing some of the Mk1 Sea Kings in action.
