On page 33 we showcased a small selection of S62's including a sister ship to the craft below.

Now Jeremy Hughes (who provided most of the images for the London to Paris post above) has come up with the following S62 shot from 1960:

This craft was evidently damaged during a ditching in Qatar on 10th April 1969 while flying for Shell and was subsequently repaired and sold to Cyprus Airways where she flew as 5B-CBT in 1973. The craft was then sold to Gulf Helicopters in 1975 where she flew as A7-HAB.
