(re Sea King helicopters)

When I first started my professional career I worked a solid state
replacement for some of the vacuum tube stuff in the Sea King radar
altimeter. That was 1979 and the things were already older than I; have we
yet retired the last one?

Our current batch of Sea Kings were bought between 1963 & 1969.
If you have any used ones for sale, let us know.



I used to say, "If it's good enough for the President, well it ought be
good enough for our lads to crash in." But now the Pres. has a new
machine, a VH-71, I think, nice bird, so I guess it's time for something
new.
