Culdrose RN SAR Helis...

[Ellins]

Does anyone have a list of Serials and number codes (the large two digit numbers on the side of the aircraft) for the Navy SAR Helis at Culdrose?

Thanks in advanced.

The serials - codes haven't changed for many years, Pete. However the cabs have.

XV647 suffered damage (Cat.3?) a year or two ago, i think it's now at Fleetlands.
XZ578/30 has joined us ( since around last Summer) it's been on Coast Watch these past few weeks.

No idea about Damien or XV670, i haven't noticed either of them for a while.
