Looks like the Army version, can't make out the airframe No, had around 1600 hrs of pure enjoyment together with the occational moment of terror in this fine work horse. As mentioned the positioning of the HP
cock, was well named, she was V prone to surge if you got the nose high and where out of balance, the position of the intake behind the rear cabin being the culprit. Never experienced engine failure but lived through the turbine creep period, shot flames out of the rear when you bleeped up the RRPM. Engine off's
pure adrenalin or good sport depending on your location, over frozen mole hills in Germany and south to north EOA at Wallop being 2 of the former. All in all an interesting introduction to turbine power, would have to agrree with the floppy lovers in that it was more truck like but at least it could survive a surge without an engine change! Believe the design came from civil airliner APU!!!!
