The US AS350 was re-engined with the LTS-101, hence the name change. But due to unreliability it soon became known as the Falling Star.

Further to the Gazelle mentioned earlier, I always heard it as the Whistling Chickenleg.

The Westland Sea King was often referred to as the King Dipper in its early days in the RN.
