The Dutch city of Terneuzen, on the south bank of the Scheldt estuary, was briefly served by Sabena from 1 October 1955 - one stop a week between Brussels and Rotterdam. The heliport was in nearby Axel. There was one more flight in 1964 at the request of the Dow Chemical company. By this time, Sabena had sold its S-58 fleet but to help carry out the remaining services two airframes were acquired from Chicago Helicopter Airways. N869 became OO-SHP in November 1964.
