Re: Sikorsky R5 helicopters
I think Iraq acuired first it's helicopter from England a not from U.S.A.
Iraqi Air Force was able to get the first helicopter in 1954 when they had purchased two helicopters type Westland WS-51 Dragonfly aircrafts were used those planes for transport, general-purpose and utility roles. they were supported by two other aircrafts for a total of four aircrafts belong RIqAF and remained in service until 1966.

Re: Sikorsky R5 helicopters
Apologies. Yes Iraq had the British licence built version of the R5!
I had no idea Iraq bought 4 of these, was only aware of 2.
I guess they were replaced by the Westland Wessex for the SAR role?
