In 1955 the US Army wanted a multi-purpose utility helicopter so the Bell 204 was
reduced maintenance; lowered operating cost and fuel consumption. The AB 204B was
produced under license in Italy by Augusta from 1961 to 1974. Augusta replaced the
standard 204 engine with a Rolls-Royce Gnome engine. The only real exterior difference
is the exhaust on the AB-204B points sideways instead of to the rear.
The Royal Netherlands Navy (Koninklijke Marine) received 8 Augusta-Bell 204B
helicopters between June 1962 – July 1963. They were assigned to MLD
(Marineluchtvaartdienst, Naval Air Service) 7 squadron and used in SAR/comm roles. In
March 1978 the AB204Bs were withdrawn from service and sold. Serial number 225
eventually went to Sweden where it was used for spare parts. In 2001-2002 #225 and
#220 were returned to the Netherland Military Aviation Museum where #225 was fully
restored using parts from #220.
