Painted as 8-1, it is actually ex. WG752 which was bought from the Imperial War Museum in 1991. The real 8-1 was a Sikorsky-built S-51 and initally registered PH-MAA. Damaged in 1948 and 1950, repaired in 1951. Bought by the Dutch Navy, who applied the yellow livery and operated the helicopter between December 1951 and May 1959. Painted Sea Blue around 1955. After its active life it was sent to Fokker for rotorblade testing. She served as an eyecatcher at a car company from 1965. Likely broken up in Ede in 1969.

The Evergreen museum claims that this is the fifth S-51 built and this appears to be correct, meaning that it was one of the first commercially operated helicopters in 1946 as NC92803 - see other picture. After bankruptcy of the pioneering HAT company it was sold to the USCG as 233, later 1233.

Experimental air mail delivery in Brooklyn. We found the location doing a reverse image search for the church. HAT was the first commercial helicopter operator. The S-51 appears to be NC92803, delivered to the company from Camden, New Jersey in September 1946. HAT filed for bankruptcy in October 1947. NC92803 went to the US Coast Guard as an HO3S, 233. Now preserved in the Evergreen museum, Oregon. Photo from: Nationaal Archief (Netherlands)
