During a discussion I had with a Canadian military Sea King maintenance person, when I asked about water landings, he told me "We don't do those anymore, the hulls are not water tight.".

Thus, I watched with interest. There was yellow tape all over the lower portion of the fuselage. I would remark that duct tape has been made for decades in Canada, in the perfect Sea King grey colour. Perhaps that would have been a less conspicuous choice!
