Found this of my old ship and thought I'd post it here for those chaps that love the Sea King
A British helicopter takes off from USS Laboon.

Re: S-61 Lands on US Navy Ship
Very nice. But the British Armed Forces don't operate any Sikorsky S-61s 
Might be a Westland Commando though.

It is indeed a S-61N. But not from the British armed forces, this one belongs to the private company 'British International Helicopters'

Well that clears that up then
I couldn't view the actual picture because the MoD intranet blocks image-sharing sites.

Re: S-61 Lands on US Navy Ship
Well that sucks, The DoN blocks some here but they mainly block game sites. I can't look at files from AVSIM but I can from flightsim. Go figure that one out.

It seems almost random here. Some 'adult' picture sites are viewable, others aren't. Some gaming sites are, others not.
I can view ARRSE (the Army RumouR ServicE) but not the wives' equivalent - RearParty!

Re: S-61 Lands on US Navy Ship
For the Joint Warrior exercises the HTUFT (Helicopter Taken Up From Trade) are used to transfer personnel and records from shore to ship units primarily by the controlling elements of the exercise. The use of civilian S61 is regularly used for this task.
