A superb machine when someone else is paying for it (like the Army).

What is not generally known is that it is also a terrific passenger aircraft. I have seen one take off from the side of a mountain (okay maybe a big hill) with 12 souls on board.

This is surely, I hope, still a record. They were all rather slightly built Oriental folk but still quite an achievement.

I will not mention the pilot's name but it wasn't me.
