Great picture!

I was thinking this chopper looked a lot like the Sikorsky H-19 Chickasaw, so, I
looked it up and low and behold the Westland Whirlwind is the H-19 built under
license from Sikorsky.

As I remember, these were loud, underpowered, did I say loud and not very
attractive and loud.....  :-)
