In days long gone I visited HMS Siskin as the SAH was known on May 1st 1972 and photographed the Seahawks for an article in Aviation News…..WV865, WV826, XE368 with wings from WM915,WV798, WM969 and WM983….all numbered SAH -1 to -6 consecutively and painted Matt black. Several spare wings were also present for repairs when the trainee deck handlers bent them. Three other Seahawks were retired for firefighting training….WM913, WV909, WF299. One other,WM961 had recently joined the Torbay Air Museum.
