Sold in Australia as VH-ORA. Confusion exists as the true identity of this aircraft. The original N8307 was destroyed in a crash in 1978. It was resurrected using the fuselage of an ex-US Army aircraft. The FAA continued using the same USMC serial (129020) as the first aircraft. It has therefore continued to be c/n 55102, which is correct for 129020. While VH-ORA is reputed to have the dataplate from the US Army aircraft, what it says remains unknown.

'Opening of the Helihaven.' The Sabena chopper arrived from the Keukenhof tulip gardens as there was talk about springtime Brussels - Rotterdam - Keukenhof - Haarlem - Zandvoort services, although it was really more about local sightseeing flights, with Sabena finding the Dutch more enthusiastic about its helicopters than the Belgian public. Flights for the 1955 bulb season were cancelled with the airline complaining about the high trees at the Haarlem site. It is now a football pitch, although still called Helikopterveld when used by the cricket club from across the road. Photo by: Cees de Boer / Noord-Hollands Archief

Sabena's first S-55 landing in front of the Melsbroek airport terminal. Begun by the Belgians as a satellite airfield for Haren, Melsbroek was expanded by the Germans during WWII and connected to Haren by a long taxiway. Melsbroek became the new Brussels airport in 1948. A modern terminal was opened ten years later near Zaventem on the south side of the field. Photo from: Sabena

This unmarked Chickasaw at the Milestones of Flight Air Museum is usually quoted as 55-4943, but this is almost certainly not correct. That serial is quoted on a modification data plate in the cabin, but the fuselage main data plate quotes serial 53-4441. The latter is usually considered to be the most relevant and most reliable plate. Following the museum's closure in Jun 2015, this helicopter was moved to the Estrella Warbirds Museum in Paso Robles, CA in late 2015.
