End of an era as last Sea King rescue helicopter leaves Lossiemouth
7 April 2015 16:29 BST
More than 70 years of military search and rescue has come to an end in Scotland as the last Sea King helicopter leaves Lossiemouth.
Moray's iconic "budgie yellow" fleet has been mothballed as private operator Bristow takes over from the RAF and Royal Navy.
The choppers, which were on hand during disasters including Piper Alpha and the Lockerbie bombing, have been replaced by modern Sikorsky S92s.
The helicopters will now be put into storage at RAF Valley in Wales, while search and rescue operations will carry on in Inverness under Bristow.
