Bob and David. Here's 246 airborne with 245...Two of only three RCN HUP-3's that Canada bought in the Spring of 1954. Piasecki only built 30 of the HUP-3's. So a pretty rare version. Note only 246 carries Labrador's sort of...kind of ..SeaHorse crest. It would seem from these photo's, that the R-975's were not that reliable. Not exactly sure when or where these photo's were taken. But can only have been a month or two into the voyage. BTW..Good notes about the cooling fan being charged over. The cooling fan has direct implications for AFV installations.
