Military Reg XZ597. Now registered as G SKNG. Full details can be found at CAA GINFO website.

Some fairly basic stickers on the side of the aircraft to convert it from RAF to Royal Navy. One would think the producers could have made more of an effort.

Another glaring error was the shot looking upwards in the water, towards the surface, after the trawler was being dragged down stern first by the fishing gear cable.
Somehow, the fishermen, who were being washed towards the bow while it was still on the surface, ended up sinking well ahead of the trawler.

There was a guy in the 70's that made a camper out of an S-58. Flew it to remote areas in North America for his personal fly fishing trips. Had a little fold out awning and patio. Had sleeping amenities, portable stove, fold away storage, etc.. Amazing. Was featured in Flying Magazine I think. Just him and his wifey. Best damn Idea yet.

Such glaring errors as using a Yellow Helicopter in a series about the RN, spoil a good series. When I was working at Redhill, Two S76s were painted to look like SAS machines, the black paint used was a type that washed off easily, the cost must have been minimal for a film company.

Come on guys, allow them a little dramatic leeway. The producer was interviewed on Radio4 today and explained the space. A sub officer also interviewed was quite happy with it.

Casualty has been on the BBC for 35yrs, there are nurses and doctors up and down the country that will week in, week out say, that’s wrong, this is wrong, doesn’t work like that, would never happen like that etc.
It’s just a TV drama, people that are picking up the wrong colours of helicopter on display are being a little pernickety, no? I very much doubt the producers had helicopter spotters in mind
