Sea King ZA134

Thanks for this, which confused me. However, the penny has now dropped. The reference I have to flights by 134 in December 1992 are not, in fact, ZA134 as I thought but refer to the callsign rather than the serial. Thus, I’m looking at Rescue 134, a Wessex from B Flight, 22 Sqn at Leuchars.

Thanks nonetheless for your help and sorry for any confusion I’ve caused.

Lee, I’m ashamed of you. According to YOUR book ZA134 was:
at 819 Sqn (‘702-PW’) by 22.2.90; AMG Culdrose 4.9.92.

Quite correct. For some reason I focussed on the “Gannet” part and went for Gannet SAR Flt.

See, if he’d bought the book in the first place he’d have found that out anyway!:rolleyes:

Thanks for that Lee. I’m afraid SAR helicopters are outwith my area of expertise! I thought it was possibly based there in 1992 – do you know where it was that year?

Does anyone know during what period the above Sea King operated at HMS Gannet at Prestwick?

I’m tempted to say that anyone with a certain book would be able to tell you, but…..oh, wait, I just have.:D
