Sikorsky S-55 VH-ORA Bankstown 2014

Quite an unusual bird, this one. It's a civilian S-55 fitted out as a VIP transport. Apparently it was originally operated by the US Marines, then the US Navy. After its military service it was sold to Orlando Helicopter Airways, registered as N8307. Presumably this is where the passenger fit-out took place. It was then crashed, rebuilt, and sold to Bankstown Air Museum.
