RN Helo loss overboard Korea 15/12/52?

Hello everyone

Can anyone ID an SAR helicopter from HMS Glory that was lost overboard on December 15th 1952? The two crew, Lt Alan Philip Daniels DSM and AC1 Ernest Raymond Ripley were lost when it was apparently blown over the side by a strong gust.

Many thanks.

Regards

Simon
