Are you sure this is a Sikorsky and not a Seaking

This is Sea King 137, from RAF Lossiemouth. (Known as Rescue 137 when on a shout).
It was visiting Cromarty for a Coastguard exercise, where the Cromarty team were practicing: helo ops safety, winching up and down, gaining experience of how to help the winchman, and using a high line for stabilised ascents/descents. We also helped the helo team practice a winch up of the Coastguard stretcher [we strapped the Sector Manager on as casualty]. We go one take off; one landing;one low winch up and down on the links and one high winch up and down on North Sutor. The aim is to ensure that Coastguards are familiar with the rescue assets. A month ago, I managed to get a winch up from North Sutor cliffs, and down onto the Invergordon Lifeboat. Comment left on 08 September 2007 at 14:43 by Steve Ellwood

This is not a Sikorsky, but a Westland Seaking. This type is a British licensed built Sikorsky S-61, built by Westland.

It's a Westland Seaking 137 RAF Lossiemouth 202 Sqdn. My son, Tipper, has two signed pictures of these helicopters from the crews of the helicopter which he got for Christmas presents.
