"Due to its simple and rugged design, the Sea King rarely suffers any significant maintenance issues, and, when it does, it is relatively easy to repair." Really? could have fooled me! Mind you, I'm sure Merlin will be much better.

Good luck to the Junglies, they're a good bunch, but the SK4 was totally out of its depth and unsuited to SH operations in Afghanistan, which given the helicopter is a maritime effort designed in the Fifties, is not an enormous surprise. That they muddled through is to their credit.
