What to do with the retired UK Sea Kings?

[McColm]

From March 2016 the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force will no longer fly the Westland Sea King helicopter.
Some have been sold to Belgium and Norway with the ASAC7s being retained by the MOD until March 2017.
The guide price is £150,000 each.

I was thinking that they would make a great caravan/mobile home. The tail would have to be removed. Keeping the fuselage either lowered on to a chassis or lorry/car parts added on to make it drivable on the public highway.
As a Whiffer the 1/72 Airfix Sea King and the Refueling set using the Bedford QLs for the conversion or the Recovery Set.
I'll use the Airfix Magazine January 1972 as a guide as there is a article on the Coles Mobile Crane with drawings and photos.

indeed, ZH542 arrived here in Belgium in koksijde AB a few weeks ago.
but, just like the Norwegians, they will never fly again, as they are being stripped for parts to keep our 3 remaining SeaKings in the air until 2018.

would be nice to see them sold to other nations, maybe the new Iraqi Navy can use a couple.

They must be pushing the limit of their fatigue lives by now though, they've flown a LOT of hours.

I suppose most will be used for spare parts or target drones.

Ask the Canadians! Maybe they're interested?

How about ---- retire them  ----     long past their best buy date --

Turn them into campers/motor homes!

Mrs z's car pool are interested in one.  Their commute can be up to 2 hours each way on a bad day and they do have a School playing field next to the office.
