Welcome to KIEL Naval Air Station in Germany, a Sea King approaches the platform...
 
It's a mighty machine to see, also as we experienced to fly  !
 
Once on the platform, ofcourse the crew is willing to pose for the camera...
 
... and the helicopter is refuelled and checked immediately, for any SAR mission whatever.
 
The maintainance is done at NAS Kiel itself, as you see concerning here a rotorhead.
   
PR Officer Radtke did not know by the time we visited if Kiel was to be closed in future...
... we'll know when days come. Mr. Radtke is retired now, we wish him all the best and good health !
   
Cockpit. console, and....  a man 's got to do what a man's got to do ! Imagine yourself what  ;-) ... 
 
Inside maintaining, testing and checking, to be on the platform again. Ready willing and able !
A warship in the Kiel harbour...
... and finally a relic from the 'old days' of which mr. Radtke was so enthousiast, and kind to show us
 
    
Thank you Mr. Radtke for guiding us, and Philipp Mandau for your interview !
