I love an anorak !
Its a Bell 412.
Nifty flying so close to the cliffs, and probably around £800 an hour.
Dont know where it came from - France? but probably could have done the lift for £3 - 4K. Makes sense when the other option may have been scrapping.

Whilst (kind of) on the subject - does anyone know of a helo company with a heavy lift capacity of around 5,000 kg? Otherwise it looks like we might have to ask the Army if they fancy some 'training' in the mountains...

Can see why they might have struggled to get their anchor to hold in the 1st place

I was aware it wasn't a Huey, the link was re the big machine gun sticking out the side door!
And an excuse to hear the best line in a movie ever: "How can you kill women and children?" "Easy, you just don't lead 'em so much"....
