EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Belgian Air Force's Westland Sea King Mk. 48 RS04 (registration number: RS04) during its tenure at the Royal Naval Air Station Culdrose in the 1980s or 1990s. The Sea King, a versatile and iconic helicopter, was a mainstay of the Belgian Air Force's transport and search and rescue (SAR) fleet during this period. The Sea King Mk. 48, a variant of the original Sea King design, was known for its advanced capabilities, including the ability to operate in harsh maritime environments and perform various roles, such as search and rescue, maritime patrol, and transport. The helicopter's distinctive orange and grey color scheme, as seen in this image, was a common sight at military bases throughout Europe during this era. Royal Naval Air Station Culdrose, located in Cornwall, England, was an ideal location for the Belgian Air Force's Sea King operations due to its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean and the English Channel. The base provided excellent training opportunities for the helicopter crews, who honed their skills in various mission scenarios, including SAR operations and maritime patrols. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the Belgian Air Force's proud history with the Westland Sea King Mk. 48 and its vital role in protecting and serving the people of Belgium and its allies during the 1980s and 1990s.
