Sycamore helicopter !
The Belgian air force has a proud tradition in helicopter operations, most famously for search & rescue operations. Sanicole is proud to highlight this history with a historic helicopter in the flying display.
The first three search & rescue helicopters in the Belgian air force entered service in 1954 in Congo: the British-built Bristol Sycamore. It is now an extremely rare vintage helicopter and we are very proud to present this little-known chapter of helicopter history thanks to the wonderful collection of the Austrian Flying Bulls, who will present the only flying example in the world. This will give you a rare opportunity to enjoy the splendid sight of this historic machine in combination with its surprising sound from its piston engine. Another interesting aspect about this helicopter is that its rotor blades are made entirely out of wood.
Don’t miss the sight of this historic rescue helicopter and join us at the International Sanicole Airshow on 10 & 11 September!
