The Belvedere was the Royal Air Force's first twin engined, twin rotor helicopter to enter service. This particular Belvederes was one of six crated for transfer by cargo ship to Singapore where they joined 66 Sqdn at RAF Seletar in June 1962. She gave loyal service both in Singapore and Aden before being retired upon 66 Sqdn's disbandment in March 69. XG 474 was then shipped to the UK for preservation arriving at the RAF Museum in March 71. This photo is copyright © Alastair T.
