The last of 50 production HSL helicopters 'was kept at Bell until 1959, when it was used on a small Navy contract to test stability improvements.' Photo probably taken at Bell in Texas since an early Huey is seen. Dorsal fins had already been added to HSLs in 1953. 129877 is claimed to have become N74018, but that seems to have been a Bell 47.

This TA-4J was retired from Training Squadron 7 at NAS Meridian and flown to the museum in October 1999. The Combat Air Museum has a very nice collection of aircraft and all except the C-121 are inside (when I visited in 2015). However, it does make it a little harder in places to get a good photo as the a/c are close together. The large orange object in the foreground is the left wing tip tank for T-33A 52-9632.

Another early shot of the first prototype Bell HSL, most probably during its maiden flight at Amon Carter Field. The only tandem rotor helicopter attempted by Bell, the HSL was almost too big for aircraft carrier elevators and high noise and vibration levels interfered with sonar work in the intended ASW role. A few airframes used in minesweeping trials. Photo from: Bell

The helicopter was lost on another rescue mission near Kosong on 3 July 1951. The pilot was killed and another crew member taken prisoner. Photo from: US Navy
