Brussels - Rotterdam was one of the first scheduled inter-city passenger helicopter services from September 1953. OO-SHD was with Sabena from January 1954 until April 1956 when it went to the French air force as 55558. Postcard, my copy stamped on 30 September 1955.

The twilight of Sabena's passenger helicopter operations. The airline had sold its S-58s but acquired two others from Chicago Helicopter Airways to carry out the remaining services. N869 and N878 became OO-SHP and OO-SHQ, respectively, but flights ceased on 1 November 1966. The Brussels heliport closed immediately. Photo by: Eszter Pozsgay / Fortepan

Photo probably taken on 19 April 1958 when this Flying Banana hired by Sabena exceptionally flew on the Rotterdam route. It was normally used around Brussels during Expo 58 which opened two days earlier. N74058 also flew a Amsterdam - Rotterdam trial service on behalf of Schreiner Aero Contractors in November 1958 but then it was no longer allowed to use this central heliport.

During the late 1950s this Sikorsky was active for Sabena. That is the reason she is now painted in this color scheme. The full registration is only painted on port-side. After flying for Sabena this Sikorsky was taken over by the Belgian Air Force as B-12. From 1978 till 1984 she was active for Meravo Helicopters as D-HAUD and after withdrawn from use displayed on Frankfurt airport observation deck for many years.

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

The heliport in Liège was situated on the left bank of the Meuse. OO-SHA was the first passenger helicopter to land here on 13 September 1953. After the termination of Sabena's helicopter services in 1966, the facility remained in occasional use. Photo from: Nationaal Archief (Netherlands)

In addition to six in Europe, Sabena had three S-55s based in the Belgian Congo. OO-CWE was pictured together with OO-CWF in Congo or one of the neighboring countries, wearing the Sabena logo but no titles and an unidentified red badge forward of the tailboom.

Brussels at war? No, this is the festive opening of Sabena's helicopter service to Paris - Issy, with the whole new S-58s fleet making the trip. In 1963, amazingly, a Breguet 941 STOL transport was allowed to land at this city heliport. Photo from: Nationaal Archief (Netherlands)

OO-SHA caught a lot of media attention - it landed in London the day before. This flight was carried out at the request of the city of Amsterdam, and Sabena did not envisage services into here.
