S-51 Westland built 130 + under the name Dragonfly. .S-55 Westland called the Whirlwind nearly 400 built in 12 variants including the Gnome turbine. . .S-58 Westland produced 300+ Wessex in 10 variants the nostalgic subject of this thread.. .The SH-3D was produced in large numbers as the Sea king for numerous countries. The S-61 has never been produced by Westland

A point to note, none of the above aircraft have been produced as “off the shelf “ designs all have had considerable re-design and development work to make them better suited to UK military and civil operation.
