I flew for a company named World Wide Helicopters who operated mostly American registered helicopters and a few fixed wing aircraft out of Biggin Hill. The year would have been 1962. When I was with them we had Sikorsky S-58's, Bell 47's and a few fixed wing. I stayed at a pub called the Fox and Hounds.....fabulous. The flight crews were a mix of British, Dutch and Australian and I think I was about the only American. I have tried to run down some of the old crew members to no avail. I have a photo of a Beech parked on the ramp at their hangar but I do not know how to upload it. On another matter I also flew A-26 N3710G a good deal in the US which some years later you will recall crashed at Biggin Hill Sept 21, 1980 tragically killing everyone on board.
