Known as ‘King of the Junglies’, ZA298 was the longest serving Sea King HC.4. For over 30 years, it was active in wars in the Falklands, Bosnia, Iraq and, most recently, Afghanistan.

A specialist variant of the Westland Sea King, the HC.4 was the Royal Navy's Commando troop carrying and resupply helicopter replacement for their Wessex HU.5 helicopters and a development of similar aircraft produced for the Egyptian and Qatari Air Forces. 42 newly built helicopters were eventually produced in this configuration, which by their nature, were never too far from any action hotspots.

Deployed to combat zones right across the world during their 36 year service career, the Junglie as it was affectionately known, served with distinction from the Falklands War, through to the UK's campaign in Afghanistan.
