No, you were in the right place - that's a Mk 3A
Yup, only the best for 22 Sqn;)

That's no 3A or 3; for a start from the positioning of the 2 fuel gauges you can see it's definitely got 3 in total (one obscured by the champers), grey instrument panel and cockpit walls (not black like both RAF marks in the latter, post-introduction of NVG, years). There's more differences obvious in the photo, but that'll do for starters, so it's a Navy cab, Mk 6 I reckon.
Also, if it was a yellow Sea King, 202 at least, the occupants would be drinking a classier drop of bubbly than that.........
Still think I did it wrong

Milk - or perhaps that is a bit strong for 202?

It can't be RAF. For a start it's deployed in a field, and secondly there's no hire car in sight.

But it is outside the hotel.

Interesting that you post pictures of a Navy Sea King in your defence😂

There's a new career for all those 225s that the North Sea doesn't want any more.

That is the Wessex I did my first ever deck landing on HMS Albion on 3rd April 1967

Listening to the travelling public's views, they would only work as 'capsule hotels'!
