Built in 1953 for service with the Fleet Air Arm as WP495, she is seen here painted in S-51 BEA colours. The real G-AJOV had the claim to fame in that it inaugurated the world's first ever scheduled helicopter service that operated between Liverpool and Cardiff.

The Dragonfly was a licence-built version of the American Sikorsky S-51 and used by the RN in the SAR and comms. role until replaced by the Westland Whirlwind. This particular example served with the RN from 1953 until 1966 when it was retired to the Fleet Air Arm Museum where it is now on display in Hall 2.
