Very nice mate. Looks like fun.

Re: Sea King Flight
After kicking photobucket a few times i got some more (mainly mid flight ones):
A Town (photo taken while leaning out the door)
Alot of feilds around suffolk
Some villages too
getting a little more confident
Letting the Cpl have a go...
While flying over Stowmarket
Then over Diss
Heading home
Looking cool
back over Stowmarket...
Get out the way!!!
(got vids of landing, start up and others just give me time to put them together)

Re: Sea King Flight
Great pics, Conner! Thanks for sharing!
Now that you've done it in daylight you really need to go on a night flight and look at the lower main rotor blade surfaces reflecting any lights, especially during transition to hover.
It'll scare the living daylights out of ya!
