Photo Comment

Under the US military aid programme the Netherlands received thirty-five H-23B helicopters between June 1955 and late 1958. They wore permanent 8A codes, indicating 298 Sqn, although they were also used by other units. Used as a trainer by the US Army, the H-23B had marginal engine power and could barely lift three persons including the pilot. This one is seen flying near Arnhem.
