>And some are still flying today..............
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..... :-)
