| 説明 | c/n WA.912Built 1981A very active machine which saw action during the Falklands Conflict, both Gulf Wars, Bosnia and Afghanistan. Nicknamed the “King of the Junglies”, it later delivered the Olympic Flame to the London 2012 Olympics.Retired in 2016, it is seen on display in Hall 4 as part of the ‘Cold War to Kabul’ exhibiton.Fleet Air Arm MuseumRNAS Yeovilton, Somerset, UK.30th June 2019The following history on ZA298 comes from the FAA Museum website:-“Sea King HC4 ZA298 has earned the name “King of the Junglies” after over 34 years’ service with the Royal Navy. Since 1982 it has clocked up more than 9,000 flying hours operating with the Fleet Air Arm all over the world. It also delivered the Olympic Flame, via a Royal Marine and a rope, for London 2012. ZA298 has an exciting and fascinating story to tell. It famously survived a rocket propelled grenade [RPG] attack in Afghanistan in June 2011 but a team from 845 Naval Air Squadron were able to get the Sea King back to Camp Bastion. The attack severely damaged the starboard [right hand] side of the helicopter narrowly missing pilot Lt Cdr Steve Brown and injuring the Marine door-gunner.It is a hardened veteran of several conflicts and the RPG attack was not the only battle damage ZA298 sustained. During the Falkland’s War [1982], it was attacked by an Argentinean Skyhawk, leaving it with a 30 mm cannon shell hole in one of its rotor blades. This is now proudly displayed at the Fleet Air Arm Museum. Later it served in both Gulf Wars and in Bosnia where it was hit by small arms fire during a rescue of civilian refugees.” |
