It all depends upon which helicopter you mean:

1 knot ≈ 1.15 mph

A Wessex helicopter had a max speed of 115 knots, meaning it could cover 93 miles in 93 ÷ (115 x 1.15) x 60 mins ≈ 42.16 mins

A Wasp helicopter had a max speed of 120 knots, meaning it could cover 93 miles in 93 ÷ (120 x 1.15) x 60 mins ≈ 40.41 mins

A Sea King helicopter had a max speed of 125 knots, meaning it could cover 93 miles in 93 ÷ (125 x 1.15) x 60 mins ≈ 38.79 mins

A Lynx helicopter had a max speed of 160 knots, meaning it could cover 93 miles in 93 ÷ (160 x 1.15) x 60 mins ≈ 30.31 mins

Those figures are from pre 1980.

A Lynx in 1986 reached 249.1 mph, meaning it could cover 93 miles in 93 ÷ 249.1 x 60 mins ≈ 22.40 mins

An unofficial record of 299 mph by a Sikorsky X2 (compound helicopter) in 2010 means it could cover 93 miles in 93 ÷ 299 x 60 mins ≈ 18.66 mins
