History
The HC.4 version of the Westland Sea King was a specialised variant used by the Royal Navy as a Commando troop transport and resupply helicopter, replacing the Wessex HU.5 helicopters. It was developed alongside similar models for the Egyptian and Qatari Air Forces. A total of 42 helicopters were constructed in this configuration, designed to be close to action areas.
Throughout its 36-year service, the Junglie, as it was affectionately called, was deployed to various global conflict zones, demonstrating its capabilities from the Falklands War to the UK's operations in Afghanistan.
ZA298, known as 'King of the Junglies', was the longest-serving Sea King HC.4, participating in conflicts in the Falklands, Bosnia, Iraq, and most recently, Afghanistan over a span of more than 30 years.
The Westland Sea King is a product of Leonardo UK Ltd, and all associated rights, including its name, are reserved. The models have been created with the permission and support of Leonardo MW Ltd.
