RAF Seaking being airlifted by an RAF Chinook after the Seaking malfunctioned during a rescue on Snowdon in conjunction with Llanberis Mountain rescue Team
I remember seeing this on the BBC NEWS channel and i saved the link to my facebook there is one thing though that still puzzles me to this day and that is what did they do with the Sea King's rotor blades? obviously they had to be removed whist it was being carried as a slung load, but were they taken by road, were they put inside the Sea King, inside the Chinook? It still puzzles me to this day. If you know please let me know
the sea king looks just as big as the chinook

Amazing footage. Not everyday you get to see that. That Chinook pilot has skill, just look how fast the Sea King gets attached.
