Zis, yes, on page 12 there is a piece on Sabena's rotary fleet which, at one point, was moderatley substantial (for the day) and mainly consisting of S-58's.

Your image shows one of their Bell 47's (a D model with the enclosed tailboom). There were only three D's listed on the Belgian register in the 'SH' sequence and which were respectively: OO-SHX, SHY and SHZ and your image is therefore most likely to be one of these. The craft appears to be landing at some sort of stadium and it would be great if someone recognised the building or .. perhaps it was an early Zaventem?

More Bölkow Classico ..

Well, as the Swedish Air Force were preparing to dispose of their Bölkows .. the Albanians were gearing-up to take delivery of theirs:

And .. more Bölkow "At Odds with the World" cabin shots:
