英国海军第857飞行中队的 WS-61“海王”ASac7（MK7）预警直升机部署阿富汗近两年后重新返回舰上。（RNAS Culdrose based Sea Kings from the Royal Navy’s Airborne Surveillance Force are gaining their Sea Legs again after operating for the past two years over the deserts of Afghanistan.857 Naval Air Squadron, who fly Sea King Mk 7 Airborne Surveillance and Control helicopters, are affectionately known as “Baggers” because of the radar being held in a large Kevlar bag on the side of the aircraft. During their time on Operation Herrick in Afghanistan they completed in excess of 3,000 flying hours spread over 800 missions from Camp Bastion, the main operating Base for British Forces in the country. Swapping their Multi-Terrain Combats, they are getting familiar once again with traditional Naval Blue, and a return to Maritime operations.）
