Navy Inters

The following pic was in an article on the RAN Seaking Helos on the RAN Fleet Air Arm Association site.  Might be of interest to someone - note the Inter towing the wrecked helo.



N16-117 (906) became the first Sea King to ditch only five months after arriving in Australia.  The loss of oil pressure to the main rotor gearbox was a critical fault that, in the early years, necessitated an immediate ditching.  906 was salvaged but never flew again, and its remains were eventually donated to the Fleet Air Arm Museum.
