"October 13, 1947 – A helicopter flies in Switzerland for the first time. It is the Bell 47B G-AKCX of the Irvin-Bell Helicopters Sales presented near the Allmend in Zürich-Wollishofen by the British pilot Alan Bruce Hamilton 'Jimmy' Youell."

"On 14 June 1949, he became the first person to fly a helicopter in Iceland when he flew a Bell 47D TF-HET. It was on loan from Bell Aircraft Corporation to test the feasibility of the Icelandic government to purchase it. Youell also trained the first two Icelandic helicopter pilots during the same summer."

Apparently, It was "difficult to reach a conclusion in the Althingi on whether to buy the helicopter or not, and in the end it was sent back out of the country"
