Help id - Sikosrsky S-55 - Greece

[D. St-Sanvain]

Hello,

here is a picture taken in Greece in summer 2002, some 11 km north of
Larissa (see Google Earth file).
Has anyone some information about a serial of the origin of this
chopper ?

Thanks in advance,

I tried a Google with just 'Larissa Sikorsky' and suprisingly found a
picture on :-
http://www.planepictures.net/netsearch4.cgi?srch=Sikorsky%20UH-19B&stype=actype&srng=2
that looks like your one.

In case the link fails it would appear to be 13930 preserved at Soukas
Robotics, Ex Athine, Ex USAF 51-3830.

Hope this helps.

Sorry, it should read 51-3930. I shouldn't type in subdued lighting.

Well done, thanks !
And, sorry for pp.net... I search through a.net only...
And searched for Larissa + S-55, or H-19... but not Sikorsky...
