The only problem with the Whirlwind was that you winched the aircraft down to the casualty because it was so underpowered
At El Adem in the early sixties a Sycamore was the chariot. The winchman would be sent down to strop up the casualty, who would then be lifted and flown back to base. Then they would come out again for the winchman.
