Most of the helicopters in this hangar are too tight for a proper photo but fortunately this beautifully presented Whirlwind is well positioned at the end of the row. Four of these Westland-built machines were flown alongside about 20 Sikorsky H-19s with the Air Force and Navy

The S-55 was aptly nicknamed 'Happy Elephant' by the French. Although Sud-Est held a licence, I don't think any S-55s were built there; this H-19D-3 certainly has a Sikorsky c/n plate. It was delivered to the French navy in 1957, went to the air force in 1959, and on to the army in 1964. It was retired with 700 flying hours in 1970 and preserved initially at Metz.

Delivered to the RAF on 19 August 1954 as a Whirlwind HAR.4, and later converted to Whirlwind HAR.10. By 1984 it had become an instructional airframe at Halton with maintenance serial 8673M, ending up at the Caenarfon fire dump in the late 2000s. It recently lost its tail boom, less than a year before this photo was taken.

This S-55 was delivered to Los Angeles Airways May 12, 1953 (N416A). Photographed in Vancouver with Estlin Air Services by which time it was converted to turbine power. Sold to Athabaska Airways May 1983, it was damaged June 9, 1999 when hovering 10 - 15 feet over a lake. The engine spooled down for an unknown reason and it settled in the lake and rolled on its side. Salvaged and sold in the USA as N2299M the following November where it is still on the register.
