Close. Canadian soldiers on winter manoeuvres.

You don't suppose sycamore was hinting at the Bristol Sycamore helicopter, do you?

Guess the wintery beast must therefore be a CAF CH-147 Chinook (alias the CH-47C).

OK guys, clearly there's a problem somewhere, so I'll knock this one on the head.

So Open House whilst I try to figure it out.

Works fine for me as well with Firefox, but not with Explorer.

I am not a helicopter fan, but after a week of no internet I need to satisfy my need to participate in a challenge. How about the Lockheed AH-56 'Cheyenne'?

skytrain10's challenge

Thanks S'land I now have "Firefox" and am able to see the challenge. It is not the Lockheed AH-56 'Cheyenne' but it is the Sikorsky S-67 'Blackhawk'

Bri, I think we are waiting for skytrain's confirmation of what helicopter his challenge was. It seems that unfortunately the picture does not show when using the Explorer browser but is visible on other browers such as Firefox.
