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. This photo is copyright © Alastair T.
