After the disestablishment of Harcour Road Heliport in the early 80s, I recall two helicopter landing sites were made available within the Dockyard:

(i) on the western end of the North Arm and

(ii) on the rooftop of Essex Block.

Later a heliport to the east of Harcourt Road near Fenwick Street was made available.
