Re: Australian Seakings in the UK
Just to update the state of Sea Kings here, as of 10.00am today the newest arrival XZ578 is still parked outside and clearly visible from the Trend car park. All the others are still outside and still wrapped. This may help somebody.

Re: Australian Seakings in the UK
A quick visit here this morning confirms 9 frames are visible from outside the compound. The original 6 still wrapped and in their original positions. Plus 2 x Red/White/blue (RAE/ETPS). Lastly 1 x Yellow coded "S" Maybe ZE369 ? No serials visible so not read off.
Re: Australian Seakings in the UK
Hi chaps, Only just seen latest reply, please can anyone confirm the yellow Sea KIng coded S is still at Horsham please?
