Sea King ZE369
Sister to XZ589 — a real RAF Sea King for up to four, on the water at Scarborough.
ZE369 is a real RAF Search & Rescue Sea King and a truly memorable place to stay — sister airframe to XZ589, with exactly the same layout.
It's one open-plan space inside: a double bed at the tail, a set of bunk beds, a seating area and a small kitchenette, plus a dining area for two in the original cockpit. Outside there's a picnic bench for four and a gravelled area of your own.
This is a basic glamping experience — no bedding or towels are provided, and there's no hot water or heating inside, so pack accordingly. You'll find lights and USB charging sockets inside and a drinking-water tap outside. Showers, toilets and a pot-wash area are on the campsite nearby.
What makes Sea King ZE369 special
The original cockpit, kept just as the crew left it — dials, switches and all — now a one-of-a-kind dining nook for two.

“Our two kids have told literally everyone they slept in a helicopter. Loads of room and a brilliant spot by the water.”
