JB,
Quite. That one Sea King 4 airframe saw more combat than the RAF’s entire Phantom, Lightning and Tornado F3 force put together…

ITAR is an interesting point. I doubt the Westland built Mk4 appears on the USML. The F4 is more interesting as it is one of the reasons that ITAR is enforced with such Draconian enthusiasm – ie to prevent the flow of supplies to Iran – I wonder who has the ‘End User Certificate’? Of course, common sense might have broken out and it’s been seen in effect as scrap metal. The F4 was also subject to the CFE treaty.
