XZ598 is a stunning Westland Sea King Helicopter which was a former Search and Rescue Helicopter for the MOD, it is currently undergoing renevation to be turned into an up market cafe.
9th January 2017

Following the auction, I had 7 days to organise the transport of the Sea King from Witham (near Grantham) just off the A1 back up to my home town of Scarborough. After a few hours of high stress levels and lots of man power we finally loaded XZ598 onto the semi-low loader. The 142 mile journey took 4 hours to complete, but was worth every second.
