1. Title: Italian Navy Sikorsky SH-3D Sea King MM5014N / 6-11 (msn 6018) at Luni Naval Air Base, 31 March 1998 2. Description: This photograph showcases the Italian Navy's Sikorsky SH-3D Sea King helicopter, identified as MM5014N / 6-11 (msn 6018), during its presence at Luni Naval Air Base on 31 March 1998. The Italian Navy, also known as Aviazione Navale, is renowned for its extensive fleet of maritime patrol and search and rescue helicopters, and the Sikorsky SH-3D Sea King is a significant component of this impressive inventory. 3. Background: The Sikorsky SH-3D Sea King is a versatile, twin-engine, anti-submarine warfare and search and rescue helicopter, developed by Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation. First introduced in the late 1960s, the Sea King has been a mainstay of naval aviation forces worldwide, including the Italian Navy, for over five decades. This particular Sea King, with the registration number MM5014N and the squadron designation 6-11, was manufactured in 1969 as msn 6018. 4. Setting: In this image, the Sea King is captured on the tarmac of Luni Naval Air Base, a significant Italian Navy facility located in La Spezia, Italy. The helicopter's distinctive, angular shape and bold markings stand out against the backdrop of the airbase, with its various aircraft and support structures. The date, 31 March 1998, adds a sense of historical context to the photograph, offering a glimpse into the past of the Italian Navy's aviation branch. 5. Significance: This photograph is an evocative reminder of the Italian Navy's rich aviation history and its ongoing commitment to maritime security and search and rescue operations. The Sikorsky SH-3D Sea King, with its impressive capabilities and long service life, continues to play a vital role in these efforts. This image, from The Tony Lovelock Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique and captivating perspective on this important chapter in Italian naval aviation.
