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.

Excellent picture by the Dert family of photographers from Vlissingen (Flushing). For the 1955 summer season, Sabena's whirlybirds flew Brussels - Rotterdam a few times weekly via Knokke, Flushing and Zierikzee, serving the E55 exhibition in Rotterdam. Photo from: Foto Dert / Zeeuws Archief

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.

Based at NAF Oppama near Yokohama, Marine Helicopter Transport Squadron HMR-162 'Golden Eagles' traded its HRS-1 Chickasaws for twenty HRS-3s in 1956. The photo was probably taken in that year since the unit was redesignated HMR(L)-162 on 31 December 1956. Airframe delivered as a HRS-2 on 5 September 1952 and converted to HRS-3 in 1955. Struck off charge in 1967. To N17754. Registration cancelled in 1993.

The S-55QT (Quiet Technology) conversion was started by Orlando Helicopter in the mid 1980s and continued by Vertical Aviation Technology (VAT) in the 1990s, at the request of Papillon Grand Canyon Helicopters who needed quieter helicopters for their sight-seeing flights. It features a 5-blade rotor instead of the standard 3-blade one, revised engine intakes and exhausts, and noise-suppressing engine covers. It also has extra large windows to improve the passenger's view. The conversion was certified in December 1999. This example still carries its old Papillon colours.
