It’s a Mk 1 Wessex. The mk3s were always extra dark sea gray and yellow. Sonar in the cabin and a radome above the cabin. My first squadron out of training in 1973 was 771 then at Portland. We only had the mk1. 737 Squadron on the other side of the runway had all the mk3s and parented the county class destroyers ships flights.
Am I misremembering that the spin coming from the Company several years ago was that the aircraft was in such a precarious and dangerous state that volunteers could no-longer be allowed access to maintain it?
