Early Hiller helicopters at the factory, with Stanley Hiller's original HillerCopter in the front. Third is UH-4 Commuter NX66276 and sixth is NX68940, the prototype of the UH-12 / Hiller 360 as seen in the rear and overhead. As you can see, UH stood for United Helicopters, a name dropped in 1948. Confusingly, the US Army designation of the UH-12 was H-23. That type was the company's only real sales success. Digital technology has now taken over this area - Facebook Building 57 was built right on this spot, which is actually in Menlo Park. Photo from: Hiller

Rebuilt as an RLB-30 with a solid keel (no bomb bay doors) and loaned to Consolidated for pax & cargo flights between their production plants in the USA. Operated with USAAF roundels as seen here, but reason unknown as still British-owned. Ownership transferred to Consolidated and registered to them as NL24927 on 1 Apr 1947. Sold to the Continental Can Company as an executive aircraft on 10 Nov 1948 as N1503. Became XC-CAY with PEMEX on 4 Nov 1959, then to N12905 with the Confederate Air Force in Jun 1968.

It was sold to the Skyfox Corporation 14 January 1983 as N221SF and was converted as their prototype Skyfox with two pod mounted Garrett TFE731-3A turbofans and first flew at Mojave, California 21 August 1983.
