This 1957-vintage Whirlwind saw action with several different Naval Air Squadrons (845, 820, 701, 848, 847 & 705) and when reading the service history of such old generation helicopters it is notable just how many incidents and mishaps they were involved in. To RNAY Wroughton in December 1974 and Duxford by road in October 1975. Now one of only two aircraft that remain suspended from the AirSpace roof

This Chickasaw was on show at the USAF Museum by 2005. It is painted as an H-19A known as Hop-A-Long, one of two to make the first transatlantic helicopter flight, travelling during the summer of 1952 from Westover AFB, MA, to Scotland in five stages. They then carried on to finally reach their allocated unit in Germany, the 9th ARS at Wiesbaden. In fact it is UH-19B 52-7587

Initially flying with Rockwell Manufacturing (N415A) from 1952, this S-55 was delivered to Pratt & Whitney Canada in 1954 (CF-HNG). Later with Kenting, United and Okanagan / Atlantic Helicopters, it was converted to turbine power. Pictured with Quasar Helicopters from 1975, it was written off in 1986 registered to South-West Helicopters at the time.
