Can any of you RAF types identify the helicopter that it's mounted in? We had those Belvedere thinggies in Malaya and although I never knowingly flew in one, they just looked about as aerodynamic as a piano to me. They flew everywhere with 6 or 8 of those huge 44 gallon containers full of petrol lashed into the front of the working bay, presumably so that they could decant it if they ran out of petrol. I know that when they landed close to civilization, they had to have a proper fire-engine present unlike everything else where you just had a wheely-bin like fire thing. I remember being told that a fierce tracker dog got loose in one once, got a bit frightened (they went everywhere in the helicopters.....) and went ape-sh-t. Snapping and snarling and biting all and sundry until one bloody and even angrier Maori jumped on it - in mid air no less - and throttled it to death.

Yes......... what helicopter is it?
