Hiller
From ARRSEpedia
Hiller HT1
US helicopter manufacturer and maker of the OH23 - one of the first helicopters to have been used in service with the Royal Navy. Used for ab initio rotary training, it was significantly more astheticly pleasing than the wanky, mong-looking Skeeters used by the Army. It was famously seen in the James Bond movie From Russia With Love.
Two marks were utilised: the Hiller HT1 and HT2 - the latter with an enlarged & improved cabin that seated three (or four at a push). It was replaced in its role by the Gazelle HT2 in 1974.
