Was wondering when this video was taken? I worked at SAR 177 (no I wasn't crew) 2001-02 and it was privatised only a few months later, which in my opinion was an absolute disgrace. Was the best experience in my 35yr working career so far. All those involved were truly amazing people and I miss the family culture. Special thanks to Lt. Cmdr Watts, Lt. Cmdr Hutchison, WO Whale, CPO Wattret, PO Humpleby, CAO McLeish and all the brave men and women who were my friends. God speed.
Hats off to Cobra for those Amazing videos, i can watch them all day long and get tired of viewing, keep on posting because those videos helping me enjoy my retirement, after 35 years working at Colgate palmolive, brilliant stuff from Cobra, i just love the Military!!!
Great little base - now used by HM Coastguard - mil historians will know it was used by the Royal Navy as RNAS Portland until 1999. From 2:00 to 2:30 you can see two different sets of runway markings from when the landing strip was re-aligned following the RNs departure and the diversification of the site into different uses.
This is a cab from 814 Sqdn, the flying tigers. I worked at Portland and Culdrose launching and recovery these ac, still gr8 to see a SK flying, lovely sound.
Hi Cobra - thanks for the great footage, as always. Can I ask when you were able to shoot this? Judging by the inclement weather conditions we've had on rhe south coast recently, was it last week? (end of March)👍👍💦
The last 3 Sea Kings in UK service have recently been used to train Ukraine pilots. When the training is complete I believe that the aircraft will be transferred to the Ukraine Government.
That's right, XV666 is 'Damien', whose last assignment was 771 until retiring in 2016. History: navywings.org.uk/sea-king-xv666-damian-celebrates-50th-anniversary/ Not sure why the ace of clubs, though. Can anyone else enlighten us?
Funny how the Merlin was much more twitchy on landing than the Sea King. Wonder if that’s a product of the presumably fly by wire controls of the Merlin and the more physical controls of the Sea King or simply pilot experience.
@@composimmonite3918 It’s not. It’s with an American company, Bristow who simply write “HM Coastguard” on the fuselage. They don’t provide the same service as the RN & RAF did. My brother is ex 771, and I know of many cases where they’ve made a decision to push themselves & the aircraft to the limit (and often well beyond it) in order to save lives at a definite risk to their own. Bristow won’t do that!

Glad you're enjoying the videos! Plenty more to come. Hope you're having a good retirement 😀
@@CobraEmergency thanks very much, and yes I am enjoying that with thanks and praise to Almighty God. Keep posting the videos!
This is pure dedication. Filming in such horrible weather conditions. Well done. And thank you. CobraEmergency 💪💪
Morning Cobra... watching the video before work. Nice chopper...12:48 One Ton Ford!! Right on Cobra!!!
The merlin is a beast a lovely aircraft
Westland made brilliant helicopters including the Lynx that was the fastest and first to go upside down
ace of spades i believe was the coast guard helicopter covering Cornwall and Devon
This is my happy place love it was also here as a kid with my dad when he was stationed here in the navy it was a lot more busy

fantastic, what camera are you using here to film? quality is fanastic
Cheers! This was the Panasonic X1500. I will warn, though, that it struggles in lowlight, so an upgrade to the HC-X20 was made.
Is that Seaking a former SAR from 771 Sqdn? The ace of clubs was on those aircraft, but I never knew why.

Where is this?
guessing NH-90 is called Merlin?
No, NH-90 and Merlin are entirely different aircraft.
Merlin was the first aircraft type
Funny how the Merlin was much more twitchy on landing than the Sea King. Wonder if that’s a product of the presumably fly by wire controls of the Merlin and the more physical controls of the Sea King or simply pilot experience.
멋있는 헬리콥터
