To: Arkroyal or anyone interested in providing a response.
In my comment about the stripped down S-61 in Sikorsky’ bid on the Army’s’ attack helicopter program I was confused. The confusion came from the designations used for license built Sikorsky helicopters. Can you (anyone) please provide your names for these helicopters built by Westland so as to eliminate confusion from this side of the pond?
S-51. .S-55. .S-58. .S-61
Incidentally, I was a techrep on the S-58 series along with the S-56 and S-55 and I still am confused by the Indian tribe names used by the US Army for these helicopters.
One small point. When I type in Westland my spell checker notes an error and provides “wetland and wasteland” as an alternative. Care to comment?
