N101B was part a fleet of helicopters and planes used by Australian Petroleum Co (APC) for oil and mineral exploration in Papua New Guinea. World Wide Air Services operated the aircraft which were later transferred to the Australian register. N101B became VH-WWD in April 1956 and crashed in October 1958. The Seabee in the background was stored at Badili after being found unsuitable. Photo by: Lloyd Caughey via David Caughey

Not the real Jacoba, Countess of Holland, arriving at the Keukenhof flower gardens, flown in by Sabena helicopter boss Anselme Vernieuwe. This was even before the Belgian airline's helicopters became popular in the Netherlands by coming to the rescue after the 1953 North Sea floods. The landing spot seems to be a pasture well away from the park, with the church of De Zilk in the background. Photo from: Nationaal Archief (Netherlands)

As OO-UBA is fitted with mail containers and the airborne helicopter is not, this photo may well show Sabena's maiden Helipost service on 21 August 1950. It appears that a helipad had been built on Jan van Rijswijcklaan on the site of the current Antwerp Expo building. Photo from: Paul Lammens collection

This early Bell 47 was built as a B model in 1947. Seen in Netherlands New Guinea, apparently operating on behalf of the NNGPM company. The operator was World Wide Helicopters in 1958 when the helo had an accident, still in NNG. Later to ZK-HAJ, VH-UTU, N415DP and still airworthy in the 21st century.

'The mail helicopter in Libramont.' Sabena's involvement with helicopters began with an air mail contract and OO-UBA flew the first circuit around eastern Belgium on 21 August 1950. Note the 'mailboxes' fitted. This football pitch in Libramont, a small but central town in the Ardennes, was the first stop from Brussels - Porte de Ninove / Ninoofse Poort. The other stops were: Liège - Orban; Tongeren - De Motten park; Hasselt - St Hubertsplein; Beringen - Vigor football club; Turnhout - road to Kasterlee; Herentals - Oude Vaart; and Antwerp - Wilrijkse Plein.
