As heli1 said;
Seems to me the RAF would have done better to send the DHFS Squirrels out to help these mountainside villages rather than Chinooks.
Reckon that's not far wrong.....but I'm just an AirBus driver (also) where are You gonna land a Chook anyways? Long-Lining Yes, for sure!!!
So 95+% of landings up there.........are tight, small & steep, not exactly suited to an Mi8 nor a Chook is my thoughts.
Down 'ere in the lower lands, 2,850' hmmmmm yep, they work, but above here??? (still a beast but)
