I think we get it that you don't like the aircraft.
The photo, as has already been pointed out, is of a prototype it was in the hangar being prepared for a static display, hence no hoist at this point. BTW only took a few minutes to fit.

The cabin is the O&G version mocked up for the SAR, it has the wrong seats, a bulkhead and no sea tray. All will be different in production.

Sadly no has developed a CH47 cabin with the footprint and down wash of a R22 yet. So there will always be a compromise somewhere.

The comments you make are correct about what you see but this is not a SAR AW189.
