Odd that the BBC should consider an American design, built under licence from Sikorsky, a British "icon".
I think what they are getting at, as the oldest type in British military front-line service (along with the very last C-130Ks) with 40+ years service clocked-up by the much converted original batch. they are a "senior citizen" of the armed forces (or is that an "elderly soldier"?). Mind you 'Sea King - geriatric warrior' may not have quite the same appeal as a title!
