This remarkable event took place on October 10,2012, marking the first time that a Sea King has ever landed on this particular type of destroyer at sea. The image showcases the precision and skill of both the pilot and crew as they practice deck landings with HMS Diamond. The silhouette of the aircraft against the backdrop of an orange-hued sky adds to its dramatic effect. It is evident that this operation required meticulous coordination between air and naval forces.
