Tallsar.
Of course the US Army wouldn't have bought it.US politics would have seen to that ,even if it was twice as good,but when you look at UK purchases of Chinook since then,now close to entering three figures, and a few other possible overseas sales..Canada,Australia etc it would have been a decent run and justified the millions spent on Belvedere development.

Like many British projects,it was just ahead of its time.
