Hi Bronx,
I dont know what the chopper is, but I can name the load, it is a 1956 model Commer 10ton Flat bed with hinged sides, this was powered by a Roote's corporation(part of Chrysler I think) 2 stroke supercharged horizontal opposed all aloominum egine, and the front suspension was by very large torsion bars, as you can gather I could now be called a .

However the Helio looks laike the forrunner of the flying Crane thingy that is used to lift heavy lifts, plus fire dousing equipment.

Nerd mode now turned off!
