Ooh La! La!
I really thought this would last a tad longer. OK Mel, all yours, well done!
(Helitech, Redhill, c.1989) This exhibit scared the crap out of a lot of military guys who'd only known this monster from recognition lectures. It really was made of half-inch boiler-plate, was armed to the teeth, and was very, very impressive in the air too.
Cameras weren't allowed so close to the Hokum though...but heck, what kind of blindspots must there be behind those huge canopy frames? Still, if the Hind's just a big nasty dangerous bruiser, this thing's a screaming psychopath!
Just as an attack helo should be.
