Description

This aircraft was Europe's only H model. It was operated by Ostermans Aero AB and leased to the National Police for evaluations in 1963. The police lacked a flight division of their own at that time, which makes this helicopter to one of the very first machines in service with the police. The Swedish Police Wing was soon established, utilizing an Agusta-Bell 47G-2 (SE-HDP).
