Opened in 1953, BEA's Waterloo Air Terminal was essentially a check-in facility offering bus transport to Northolt or Heathrow, but helicopters had first landed here on the former Festival of Britain grounds in 1952 and BEA Whirlwinds linked Waterloo to Heathrow for ten months from July 1955. Sabena only undertook a single flight from Brussels in July 1954. Flying time from Brussels was no less than two hours and 48 minutes.

Sabena's first S-55 at the Rotterdam heliport. It was very centrally located in a city that had no airport at this time. Flying time to Brussels was just over an hour. Postcard.

OO-SHA, which was photographed more often, and SHB at the Dortmund heliport near the Westfalenhallen, which saw Sabena service from 6 May 1955 until 1963. The last letter of the reg was repeated in large size on the S-55s' ventral fin area in their last year with the airline, 1956. Postcard.

Excellent picture by the Dert family of photographers from Vlissingen (Flushing). For the 1955 summer season, Sabena's whirlybirds flew Brussels - Rotterdam a few times weekly via Knokke, Flushing and Zierikzee, serving the E55 exhibition in Rotterdam. Photo from: Foto Dert / Zeeuws Archief

Sold in Australia as VH-ORA. Confusion exists as the true identity of this aircraft. The original N8307 was destroyed in a crash in 1978. It was resurrected using the fuselage of an ex-US Army aircraft. The FAA continued using the same USMC serial (129020) as the first aircraft. It has therefore continued to be c/n 55102, which is correct for 129020. While VH-ORA is reputed to have the dataplate from the US Army aircraft, what it says remains unknown.

'Opening of the Helihaven.' The Sabena chopper arrived from the Keukenhof tulip gardens as there was talk about springtime Brussels - Rotterdam - Keukenhof - Haarlem - Zandvoort services, although it was really more about local sightseeing flights, with Sabena finding the Dutch more enthusiastic about its helicopters than the Belgian public. Flights for the 1955 bulb season were cancelled with the airline complaining about the high trees at the Haarlem site. It is now a football pitch, although still called Helikopterveld when used by the cricket club from across the road. Photo by: Cees de Boer / Noord-Hollands Archief

Sabena's first S-55 landing in front of the Melsbroek airport terminal. Begun by the Belgians as a satellite airfield for Haren, Melsbroek was expanded by the Germans during WWII and connected to Haren by a long taxiway. Melsbroek became the new Brussels airport in 1948. A modern terminal was opened ten years later near Zaventem on the south side of the field. Photo from: Sabena
