08/31/2007. Remarks by Jacques Trempe: "The chopper was giving a demo on the St. Lawrence river with the fregate Halifax. The grey camouflage is really hard for the photo under an overcast sky.

Canada ordered 41 Sea King's under the designation CHSS-2, the first four were built by Sikorsky and the first was delivered in May 1963. The remaining 37 were assembled by United Aircraft of Canada. This helicopter was delivered to the RCN with the s/n 4034.

On August 14, 1970, it was redesignated CH-124 and reserialed with the CAF as 12434. Subsequently it was converted to a CH-124A, CH-124B, and
CH-124B-2, it also received FLIR (Forward Looking Infra-Red) fitted in a nose mount."
