I saw a photo of one SAR Seaking that landed on top of a mountain and rolled over, all the way down to the bottom of the slope. Came to a rest looking rather sorry for itself on its side with every panel dented. I was informed its back flying.
Does Lossie still have the Seaking where they snapped the tail off and stuck it back on again with bodge tape, Blu Tac and the office stapler? I think I saw it with patches all the way around the circumference of the tail.
Indestructible.
Years ago when I was rock climbing I looked down and saw Seakings fly past lower than we were. They did some impressive flying around tight corries and down narrow glens.
