This rescue helicopter is listed as written off after an accident at Walker AFB, New Mexico on 27 May 1950, but it must have been repaired, because this photo is from the Korean War as other pictures of H-5Gs, undergoing open-air maintenance in the background, show more conclusively.

A very interesting photo as Skyway from Providence, Massachusetts, operated the world's first helicopter passenger service apparently between Logan airport and this garage rooftop in central Boston. A trial flight was made on 16 April 1947 and commercial runs started within days, but were suspended after four months. NC92809 was reportedly the company's sole helicopter. It went to the US Coast Guard as 230, one of four S-51s returned to the manufacturer after commercial failures and sold to the USCG as HO3S-1G Dragonflies.

This was permanently withdrawn from use in November 2002 and it became an exhibit at this museum. In September 2015 it was removed from display and moved to Northampton-Sywell as part of celebrations for its previous operator, Sloane Helicopters. It is now under restoration, hopefully to airworthy condition

Two of the earliest S-51s were acquired by the French navy in 1951 and 1952, receiving serials AR.1 (c/n 5102) and AR.2 (c/n 5106). AR.1 was damaged in Djibouti on 7 September 1951 while presumably on its way to Indochina with the aircraft carrier Arromanches. AR.2 did make it to Indochina later. Both helicopters withdrawn from use at Saint-Raphaël, France in March 1955.
