    Last Thursday 22-6-17 spotted a Helicopter on the M40 travelling Northwards.
    On the back of a low loader.
    Marked up as Navy, was it one of the last Sea Kings heading for a museum somewhere?

    Without an image it will be difficult to form an opinion. The RN has retired both the Sea King and the Lynx recently.

    There is also a privately owned Westland Wasp that seems to get trailered around the country quite a bit.

    Bit difficult with a closing speed of about 100 and only me at the wheel.
    Looked like a Seaking and I have flown in SK's, Lynx's and Westlands, amongst others, while working for Auntie Betty.
