I'm somewhat surprised that more ppruners have not stepped up to salute a venerable machine that many of us are proud to have flown - in my case, five formative aviation years.
Time to raise a glass to all those airframes that have served so many so well and with little recognition - whilst not the most exciting machine to fly, I always felt the Sea King had a forgiving nature and allowed me to hone my skills gently, as well as safely helping me pass on those skills to others.
Long may they continue to grace the skies.
