Thanks, SA - so main rotor head definitely(?!) an H-60, at least. The rest of the aircraft may or may not be based on Blackhawk, but I guess most likely is.

Other thoughts possibly answerable now:

- Stabilator or fixed stabiliser? (The following is probably not answerable now: If the latter, why no need to be movable for low speed pitch stability, like H-60 is? Thinks: Maybe clue to controllability, or lack of, at night close to a Pakistani wall? )

- Any pictures available of the main rotor blade tips? (Possibly unburnt, given other images?)

- That tail rotor cant angle (0, 20 or other)?
