NO MEAN feats” by Sea King ground crews have ensured they’ve picked up a prestigious award.
Against particularly strong competition from the rest of the Fleet Air Arm, the maritime Sea King Force were awarded the Rolls-Royce Engineering Efficiency Trophy.
The award is typically presented to an individual squadron, but the accomplishments of the maritime Sea King Force – that’s 771 Naval Air Squadron and Gannet Search and Rescue Flight, plus the trio of ‘Bagger’ squadrons, 849, 854 and 857 – over the past 12 months so impressed senior officers and Rolls-Royce bosses that they determined the entire force should be recognised.
