Now I am a Yank, and to me that looks like a Sikorski H-19 converted to Turbine power. Am I wrong?
@mikebristowe43273 жыл бұрын
It is indeed based on the Sikorsky aircraft. They were license-built in the UK by Westland for the UK military.

Yeah, Westlands took the Sikorsky design and put a gas turbine in it.

2 things. 1).He should have got inside before starting the engine. 2). It is modified, it sounds like a jet engine.
@joshjack61273 жыл бұрын
It uses a Rolls Royce Gnome turboshaft, much like the Westland Wessex version of the Sikorsky H34 also used a turbine rather than a Wright Cyclone radial engine

I actually saw a guy get hit on the head by the blades of a Scout. The idiot was the luckiest man in the world. It skimmed his head and then he remembered to duck. If he had been an inch taller or the ground more uneven, he would have been dead or at least scalped. Instead a harmless little tap. Incredible.

That looks like a British version of a Sikorski S-55/H-19/HRS-3 helicopter with a turbo-shaft engine. I was "plane captain" on one in the U.S. Navy in 1960. It had an R-1340 radial engine, though.
