QinetiQ Mi-8MTV
Does anyone know the story behind the QinetiQ Mi-8MTV? I think I'm correct in saying I've seen it a few times over Salisbury Plain but why are the British military using it?

"Whats the elevation of that pad and what weight's the Mil carrying in the net ?"

About 5400ft, no idea how much weight they are carrying. If you work for J McD you probably have this info by now...

It's being used for training Afghan pilots. (It's not a secret)

Ooher... I bet that got your attention.

What happened to the Pilot?

Good justification for a helmet and clear visor.

Oh dear 109E for HEMS, mind the head... And do not load a patient that's over 185cm or you might be going: sir, I'm really sorry about that but would you mind twisting your broken neck a bit so we can fit you in?
