The BuNo is not fully readable but we believe this can only be 124594, from a first batch of seven HUP-1 Retrievers delivered to the US Navy from February 1949. Still with HU-2, this airframe was lost on 22 May 1953 in a crash landing south of Ocean City, Maryland, following engine failure. The photo was circulated by the Diamond Chain Company in Indianapolis which supplied chains to Piasecki. Photo from: Piasecki / Indiana Historical Society

This characterful helicopter was put into service with the US Army as H-25A 51-16610 in 1953, transferring to the USN in 1958 as HUP-3 BuNo 147607. Assigned to HU-2 at NAS Lakehurst, NJ, over 1961 and 1962 it saw service aboard USS Forrestal, USS Lake Champlain, USS Saratoga and US Randolph. Redesignated UH-25C, it was placed in storage at Litchfield Park in late 1962. After being struck off in 1963 it was sold as N4953S and arrived at Pensacola for the museum in 1988

70 H-25As were delivered from 1953, 'procured by USAF on behalf of the Army'. The US Army found them 'unsuitable for frontline use'. 50 were transferred to the US Navy and a few to the Royal Canadian Navy. The remainder were used for training until 1958.

Taken on Charge with the US Army with s/n 51-16608 in 1953, this Retriever was transferred to the Navy in 1958 as 147595. Stored at Litchfield Park, AZ from 1962. Registered N9685Z in 1975. Donated to Pima in 1981, restored in the 1961 colours of HU-1, Atsugi Naval Air Facility, Japan and initially displayed indoors but later moved outside where it deteriorated. Restored again and returned under cover in 2020 - it now looks superb and so much better without the extensive latex glazing protection used outdoors in the unforgiving Arizona sun.
