On display at RNAS Yeovilton Air Day 2013. This SAR helicopter wears the emblem of 22 Sqn. RAF which depicts a Maltese Cross superimposed with a 'pi' symbol to denote the Squadron's service in France with the 7th Wing RFC, hence 22 over 7 or 'pi'. During World War II, F/O K. Campbell of 22 Sqn. was posthumously awarded the VC for his daring torpedo attack on 6 April 1941 on Gneisenau at Brest. The Squadron was based in India and Burma from April 1942 to Sept. 1945.

Before acquiring any helicopters of their own, the Swedish armed forces held extensive trials with Ostermans Aero's Bell 47s and S-55s - fortunately for the company which had lost a lot of money using the two S-55s on a Malmö - Copenhagen passenger shuttle service in June and July 1955.

Delivered to the US Army in October 1958 as 57-5979. To the Italian air Force as MM57-5979. Reserialed MM80119 AMI. Withdrawn from use in 1960 and intended to go to Biafra (however abandoned at the Port of Antwerp). Around 1969 it was still abandoned, although it is thought that attempts were made to illegally export it to Biafra. To the Koninklijk Legermuseum in Brussels in March 1976 with markings MM57-5979. To the Museo do Ar in exchange for a Ju-52. By 1984 it was on display at the museum in fake FAP markings (the real 9101 was 51-7139).

Harold the Helicopter from Thomas the Tank Engine was clearly inspired by the Whirlwinds used for BEA's short-lived airport shuttle from Waterloo Station in London. Floats were fitted because the risk of the single-engined helicopters ending up in the Thames was somewhat real. Photo from: Westland

Delivered July 29, 1954 to the USAF as 53-4414, this S-55 was also with the RCAF (9600) before coming on the Canadian civil register and getting a turbine conversion. With Nationwide from 1982 to 1990, the helicopter would go to Athabaska Airways until 1999 when it was exported to the USA as N2300Z.
