The Westland Dragonfly was a British license-built version of the American Sikorsky S51 and first flew in 1948. Powered by a 500hp radial engine, the type entered service with both the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force, operating in the Search and Rescue and Communications Roles. The type was to be replaced by the Westland Whirlwind in the late 1950s.
