Presidential helicopter

摘要

You published a photo in the February issue on behalf of George Duncan of a helicopter in Ghana. I believe it is in fact a Sikorsky H-19, and was once the personal transport of President Nkrumah. [Leif Hellstrom from Tullinge, Sweden, also contacted us about the helicopter and said that the remains shown are those of a Sikorsky H-19D - one of eight examples bought by the Ghana Air Force from the United Nations Air Division in the Congo after it was disbanded in 1964.]
