Opened in 1953, BEA's Waterloo Air Terminal was essentially a check-in facility offering bus transport to Northolt or Heathrow, but helicopters had first landed here on the former Festival of Britain grounds in 1952 and BEA Whirlwinds linked Waterloo to Heathrow for ten months from July 1955. Sabena only undertook a single flight from Brussels in July 1954. Flying time from Brussels was no less than two hours and 48 minutes.

'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.

The Dutch city of Terneuzen, on the south bank of the Scheldt estuary, was briefly served by Sabena from 1 October 1955 - one stop a week between Brussels and Rotterdam. The heliport was in nearby Axel. There was one more flight in 1964 at the request of the Dow Chemical company. By this time, Sabena had sold its S-58 fleet but to help carry out the remaining services two airframes were acquired from Chicago Helicopter Airways. N869 became OO-SHP in November 1964.

Built in 1957, the Bellairus was a luxury version of the Bell 47 with an interior of a similar standard to a high quality car of the period. This example was operated by Sabena in support of Belgian Antarctic surveys between 1957 and 1961. It was operated by Ostermans Aero AB as SE-HBE from 1963-70 and by a private owner as LN-OQG from 1970-72. It became G-AZYB in 1972 and was cancelled as destroyed in 1985 but has been rebuilt for display purposes.

Sabena's first S-55 at the Rotterdam heliport. It was very centrally located in a city that had no airport at this time. Flying time to Brussels was just over an hour. Postcard.

OO-SHA, which was photographed more often, and SHB at the Dortmund heliport near the Westfalenhallen, which saw Sabena service from 6 May 1955 until 1963. The last letter of the reg was repeated in large size on the S-55s' ventral fin area in their last year with the airline, 1956. Postcard.

A very nice colour picture of one of Sabena's S-58 passenger helicopters. They were fitted with flotation bags because some riverside heliports were served - there were no services across the Channel. This airframe is preserved at Sinsheim. Thanks to Michel Huhardeaux for the photo taken by his late father. Photo by: Robert Huhardeaux
