Sea-King at work

[Circuit Hero]

These were taken during an exercise on an extensive live-range. This Sea-King was brought in at the last minute to perform as part of the exercise.

Thanks for looking.

Nice capture. Particularly like No.3. What is the object under the nose in the 1st photo?

 

[Jackwow]

A bird.

 

[Circuit Hero]

Thanks, and yes it is indeed a crow!

Cracking shots Grez - you're making me jealous. I like 2,3 and 4 best. If pushed, then #3 for the top spot.

Thanks mate, very kind

Very nice. I particularly like number 4.

I always like to see "yellow helicopter" shots as my Dad used to be involved with them at RAF Kinloss.

I've never managed yet to take a picture of a helicopter and have the blades showing motion, I always shoot with too fast a shutter speed :bang:

Great pictures- I like the race against the crow

The guys do an amazing job and the yellow taxi has saved a couple of mates- one avalanched and one who decked- much respect to their skill and dedication.

Thanks again folks. You're right, my experiences of the SAR crews is that they're both extremely skilled and highly professional. I didn't go up in this one, but the last time I shot a Sea-King at work we were hovering over a boat on the North Sea. Even in the tricky winds, the pilot kept the helo inch-perfect in position.

Really great shots. Lovely clean Sea King.
